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. The edge length (in a straight line from heel to tip) is 150mm (+/- 5mm). The handle length is 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. All of my knives are made with high carbon steels and are not corrosion resistant like stainless is. While both high carbon and stainless have their pros and cons, high carbon knives do require more care. Please view my knife care guide at https://southernedgeforge.com/knife-care-guide/ for instructions on knife care.
