【Hygienic and Beautiful】Nanairo Santoku Knife 170mm Sumikane – Featuring VG-10 Core and ABS Resin Handle

Usage: The "Santoku" is the most popular knife shape in Japanese households, designed to handle meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. Its standard 170mm size offers an exquisite balance, providing excellent maneuverability even on small cutting boards and allowing for smooth push-cuts and pull-cuts. As a versatile all-rounder that covers all daily cooking needs, this knife is truly worthy of being the "centerpiece" of home culinary life.

Material: The core is forged from VG-10, a high-grade steel renowned for its rust resistance and an extremely long-lasting, razor-sharp edge. The multi-layered Damascus pattern emerging on the blade serves a dual purpose: practical food release and an artistic beauty that amplifies the joy of being in the kitchen.

Handle: To ensure long-term hygienic use, the handle is made of durable ABS resin, which is highly water-resistant and free from concerns of corrosion. Each handle is hand-painted by craftsmen in the "Sumikane" (Ink & Gold) style. The design features delicate gold particles shimmering like stars within a deep, absorbing ink black, radiating an overwhelming presence as if a piece of the night sky has been captured. It lends a serene sense of luxury to your kitchen and transforms your cooking time into a more elegant and special experience.

Ultimate Practicality Meets Traditional Beauty: By pushing the boundaries of utility through the combination of VG-10 and ABS resin, this knife never compromises on aesthetic elegance. It is a lifelong Santoku where design and function are masterfully fused.
