Why this product
The everyday Japanese knife: vegetables, meat, fish, herbs. Its 18 cm blade with an almost straight edge cuts with a forward push, the blade flat on the board. The hollows ground along the edge reduce suction, so slices of potato or cucumber stick less to the blade.
The 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, with a stated hardness of 60 ± 2 HRC, is clad in layers of stainless steel that create the Damascus pattern (67 layers in total). The figured sycamore handle is fixed with brass rivets. It is the santoku from our 3-piece Damascus set, sold on its own.

FAQ
How is it different from the Aogami santoku?
This one has a stainless steel core: more forgiving, it tolerates a knife left damp for a few minutes. The Aogami santoku, in carbon steel, takes an even finer edge but must be dried straight away.
Santoku or chef's knife?
The santoku, with its straighter edge, prefers being pushed forward. The chef's knife, longer and more curved, suits the rocking motion, tip on the board.
