16,5cm santoku knife, handmade in Japan Yuzo Haruto Damascus

Sharp blade and refined aesthetics

This 16.5 cm santoku knife is forged around a core of Swedish stainless steel, a premium steel renowned for its purity and stability. With a high chromium content, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for everyday use in the kitchen.

The core of this blade is sandwiched between several layers ofdamascus steel, forming a multi-layered structure that is both strong and flexible. This process not only lends great strength to the whole, but also visually enhances your damascus knife with its characteristic, unmistakable wave patterns.

The blade has a hardness of 59HRC on the Rockwell scale: a good balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. The result is a long-lasting blade, capable of retaining its edge while remaining easy to maintain with a suitable stone.

The finish is double-worked: damascened for elegance and hammered on the upper part, to limit food sticking to the blade during cutting, particularly on vegetables with a high water content.

With its flat edge, this Japanese kitchen knife ensures effortless, clean cutting, even for delicate cuts.

Traditional handle with noble finishes

The handle of your Japanese kitchen knife is made from magnolia wood, a light, soft-touch, moisture-resistant material. Its light, unobtrusive grain provides a sober, natural aesthetic, perfectly matched to the damask finish of the blade.

The blade is octagonal in shape, a traditional Japanese configuration designed to ensure an ambidextrous grip and good support, even during prolonged use.

The white buffalo horn bolster completes the junction between blade and handle, adding a further touch of refinement while consolidating the whole. As each piece of horn is unique, the shade may vary slightly from one Yuzo knife to another, making each one truly one-of-a-kind.

This assembly, with no visible rivets, is a fine example of Japanese craftsmanship, where aesthetics and ergonomics meet in harmonious balance!
