Meet the master of precision and versatility. The 7.5-inch Santoku, or "three virtues" knife, is the beloved Japanese all-rounder. It's designed to excel at slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it a favorite for fast, efficient prep and a perfect alternative to a traditional chef knife.
The Santoku Advantage
Unlike a curved Western chef knife, the Santoku's flatter profile is built for a fast, efficient "push-cutting" motion. This gives you laser-precise results, paper-thin slices of vegetables, and makes quick work of fish and proteins. It's nimble, balanced, and a true joy to use for all your daily prep.
Performance That Lasts
This blade is built on a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. This means it doesn't just get incredibly sharp—it stays sharp, holding a precision edge far longer than other knives. The core is then wrapped in 67 layers of stunning Damascus steel for added durability. A signature hand-shaped burnt oak handle, accented with a red G10 ring, provides a comfortable, balanced grip for complete control.
