Experience a Vintage Japanese Santoku

A vintage Santoku from Japan - carbon steel with a double-bevel grind, built for everyday kitchen work. At 170mm it is the classic Santoku format, ideal for vegetables, proteins, and fine prep work.

  • Blade length: 170mm
  • Bevel: Double bevel
  • Handle: Wood
  • Origin: Made in Japan
  • Condition: Vintage / pre-owned

Heritage

The Santoku - meaning "three virtues" - is Japan's all-purpose kitchen knife, designed for meat, fish, and vegetables. This vintage example carries the honest character of a working knife from a different era: carbon steel that takes a keen edge and develops a natural patina with use. A one-of-a-kind piece not available anywhere else.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Apply a light coat of food-safe oil to the carbon steel blade to prevent rust
  • Hone regularly; sharpen on a whetstone when needed
  • Store on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll
