The Japanese All-Rounder
The Santoku's flat blade profile and blade height make it ideal for the push-cut style - clean, full-contact cuts through vegetables, proteins, and herbs without the rocking motion. At 165mm, it's compact and agile - quick through herbs, precise on smaller ingredients, and comfortable for extended prep sessions. VG1 stainless holds a sharp, long-lasting edge with minimal maintenance - no rust risk, easy to sharpen on Japanese water stones. The tsuchime hammered finish reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. Made in Japan by Tsunehisa.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash and dry - dishwasher not recommended
Sharpen on Japanese water stones
Hone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod
Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge
