Meet the master of precision and versatility. The 7-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 high-performance 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.
The Powder Steel Advantage
The "LAN" series is built for incredible performance. At its heart is a 14Cr14MoVNb powder-steel core, an advanced steel that is incredibly hard and fine-grained. This means it can be sharpened to a steeper, more acute angle—and it holds that razor edge far longer than conventional steels. The core is then wrapped in 73 layers of beautiful Damascus steel for added protection and a stunning, unique finish.
Balanced for Comfort
A great knife is an extension of your hand. The hand-polished olive wood handle has an organic, flowing shape, providing a naturally comfortable, ergonomic grip for balanced control. Each handle has its own unique grain, making your knife truly one-of-a-kind.
