The santoku - literally "three virtues" - handles meat, fish, and vegetables with equal confidence, making it one of the most versatile knives in the Japanese kitchen. This fully forged example features a high carbon steel blade at 1.4mm thin behind the edge, delivering the clean, precise cuts the style is known for. High carbon steel takes a keener edge than stainless and rewards regular whetstone maintenance with exceptional sharpness.

Care and Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Apply a light coat of camellia oil after drying to prevent rust
  • Sharpen on a whetstone - high carbon steel responds well to regular honing
  • Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife block
