Santoku’s are great general purpose kitchen knives originating in Japan. Used for many tasks like slicing, chopping, and dicing on both vegetables and meats.
Construction: The blade is 3mm thick 1084 high carbon steel with a Tsuchime finish. High carbon steels generally allow for a higher hardness and sharper edge than their stainless steel counterparts. This does result in less corrosion resistance but when cared for properly, this is not an issue. The edge length (in a straight line from the heel to tip) is 150mm (+/- 5mm). The handle is length 120mm (+/- 2.5mm) and is shaped octagonally providing good grip but still remaining comfortable. The handle is primarily African Blackwood with a copper bolster and spacer.
Please note: As all of my knives are handmade, no two will be exactly the same as each other. Because of this, I’d ask that you please allow for small differences to the provided images. If interested in a knife but you have questions or are uncertain about something, please feel free to shoot me an email.
