An Everyday Japanese Santoku

The Santoku is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife for vegetables, fish and meat. This 170mm example offers a manageable format for varied daily preparation, with stainless steel providing corrosion resistance and a plastic handle completing its practical everyday design.

The Narikuni-saku name is retained from the product title. The earlier description called the knife unbranded but supplied no supporting maker history, so no maker biography, production date or specific steel grade is asserted here. The focus remains on the recorded Japanese manufacture, specifications and used condition.
