The santoku, whose name evokes the “three virtues,” is designed for slicing, chopping, and mincing vegetables, fish, and boneless meats. Its easy-to-handle size is ideal for everyday food preparation, from mincing vegetables to filleting fish. The AUS-8 stainless steel, polished finish, and flat grind combine to create a blade designed for precise cutting and easy maintenance.

At 16.5 cm long, the santoku blade offers a good balance between maneuverability and cutting surface. It’s perfect for slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, filleting fish, or cutting boneless meats. This size proves practical for everyday food preparation, while still providing comfortable control during more precise tasks.
The blade is made of Japanese AUS-8 stainless steel, which contains approximately 0.8% carbon. Its composition ensures an effective edge and a good balance between cutting performance and ease of maintenance. Its hardness of nearly59 HRC helps maintain the edge during repeated cutting. This hardness level also allows for regular sharpening with a suitable whetstone when the edge loses its sharpness.
The polished finish gives the blade a smooth surface and a lustrous appearance, whilethe flat grind ensures a clean, even cut through food.
The handle of this handcrafted Japanese santoku knife is made of oak that has been charred on one half, creating a visible contrast with the natural, uncharred portion. This finish gives the knife a textured appearance and a unique visual identity for each piece. The charred surface provides a smooth, comfortable grip while making the wood more durable for everyday use.
Its octagonal shape features eight sides that help you identify the handle’s orientation without having to look at the blade. It allows for a natural finger placement and maintains good control while cutting. This traditional Japanese profile accommodates a variety of grips, particularly when the hand moves closer to the handle for greater precision.
Wash the knifeblade by hand with a soft sponge and a little soap, then dry it immediately. Do not put it in the dishwasher or leave it soaking in the sink, as this may damage the blade and the wooden handle. Use a wooden or synthetic cutting board, and do not cut bones or frozen foods. To maintain the edge, use a suitable whetstone. Store the knife where it won’t be knocked, in a knife block, on a magnetic strip, in a blade guard, or in its case.
