The Santoku. Japan's All-Purpose Kitchen Knife.

The Santoku (three virtues) is Japan's answer to the Western chef's knife - designed to slice, chop, and dice with equal precision across meat, fish, and vegetables. At 160mm, this vintage example is the ideal compact size for everyday kitchen work, light enough for extended prep sessions but substantial enough to handle most tasks with confidence. Stainless steel at 58 HRC holds a reliable edge and resists corrosion. One-of-a-kind and not available anywhere else.
