They reflect authentic know-how handed down from generation to generation by Japanese craftsmen, the same ones who forged the legendary samurai swords. Building on this tradition, Japan offers high-quality kitchen knives, making Japanese knives an excellent investment for your kitchen!
In his workshop, Masutani and his small team make each knife by hand. The knives are then carefully presented in beautiful boxes, making them the perfect gift for cooking enthusiasts or chefs.
This ko santoku knife features a damascus blade, a technique that involves forging a hard steel core surrounded by several layers of softer steel. This process balances the blade's hardness and protects the core of your santoku knife.
The blade of this Japanese kitchen knife features a core of VG10 Japanese steel, a renowned alloy manufactured by Takefu Special Steel. With a carbon content of around 1%, this steel gives the blade increased hardness, reaching 60HRC on the Rockwell scale. This guarantees excellent edge retention and cutting performance!

When sharpening becomes necessary, this damask knife remains relatively easy to sharpen with a stone. The " flat " cutting edge is easy to reproduce and has the advantage of being robust despite its thinness.
The damascus construction is then covered by several layers of softer stainless steel, ensuring both protection and flexibility at the heart of the blade. In addition to its practical benefits, this damascus finish is a real aesthetic asset. The superimposed layers are visible all over the blade, creating a unique pattern that gives character to your Japanese knife.
Finally, this handcrafted Japanese knife features an elegant nashiji finish. Engraved kanji on the blade add an extra touch of authenticity.
The handle of this handcrafted Japanese knife is made of black pakkawood, a material that is both strong and durable. This composite is obtained by combining resin and laminated wood, then hardened under high temperature, offering great strength while retaining the natural look of wood thanks to its grain.

The handle is also equipped with a stainless steel bolster and two stainless steel rivets that securely fix the blade, ensuring long-term sturdiness and reliability.
