Description
What it does
The santoku cuts straight. The edge is nearly flat, the tip drops: you come down, the slice falls, you move on. The movement is easy to keep even over a large quantity.
Its tall blade shields the fingers and doubles as a scoop to carry dice to the pan.
One single range
Every knife we sell comes from the same series: forged damascus steel blade, hammered finish, metal bolster, dark red wooden handle. From one shape to the next only the blade changes. They read as a family side by side on a magnetic strip as in the set.
What it asks of you
A damascus blade is washed by hand in warm water and dried straight away. No dishwasher, no bone, no glass board. A pass on a stone now and then, and the edge holds.

Frequently asked
Santoku or gyuto?
The santoku cuts straight down, with a nearly flat edge and no rocking. The gyuto rolls on the board and goes further on meat. For someone who mostly cuts vegetables and fish, the santoku is the more restful.
What exactly is the blade steel?
The maker states forged damascus steel, without naming the core grade or the hardness. We will not publish a figure we have not checked: they will be added here once a sample has been tested.
Are your knives made in Japan?
No. They are forged in China. The shape and style are Japanese, the manufacturing is not, and we say so wherever the question comes up.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. Heat, alkaline salts and knocks against cutlery chip the edge and damage the wooden handle. Warm water and a cloth.
