• Uses: As the name "Santoku" (three virtues) suggests, this versatile knife is suitable for cutting all kinds of meat, fish, and vegetables, making it a beloved all-purpose knife in Japanese households. Its 165mm size makes it easy to handle even in a small kitchen, and it's the perfect length to slice through half a head of cabbage in one go. The blade's gentle curvature allows for smooth cutting, both with the push and pull, making it the perfect knife for all your daily cooking needs.
• Material (Design): The core is made of high-quality stainless steel "VG10 (V Gold No. 10)." Its long-lasting sharpness and rust resistance ensure optimal performance even during busy daily routines. The blade features a "16-layer Damascus pattern," and the cherry blossom design dancing on its surface lends the tool a narrative quality. This hybrid design combines the strength of multi-layered steel with the elegance of cherry blossoms, elevating your spirit with every use.
• Maker and Design: Fukube Blacksmiths, a Noto craftsmanship company with over 100 years of history, have refined traditional techniques with a modern sensibility. The handle is made of durable and water-resistant natural wood. The shape is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, making everyday cooking a pleasure rather than a burden. The design embodies the Noto aesthetic, setting it apart from tools that are solely focused on functionality.
• "Because it's something I use every day, I want something that's easy to maintain, cuts perfectly, and above all, is beautiful and I can grow to love it." The Santoku knife satisfies all of these desires, blending practicality and artistry to make it a knife that you can use for a lifetime.
