Traditional Japanese Kitchen Knife
Our Japanese Santoku knife embodies the ancestral excellence of traditional Japanese forging techniques, delivering an exceptional blade with the “three virtues” — slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its razor-sharp edge and perfect balance provide surgical precision in every cut, while its lightweight, ergonomic design reduces fatigue even during long sessions. The premium Japanese steel ensures outstanding edge retention and remarkable durability.
The ultimate all-rounder in the kitchen, this Santoku adapts effortlessly to all culinary tasks. Its blade offers great control and agility with vegetables, fish, and meats, while the hollow-ground dimples prevent food from sticking during cutting. Whether you're a professional chef or a passionate home cook, this knife — blending artisanal tradition and modern performance — elevates every preparation.

Hand wash only
To keep your knives in optimal condition, it is recommended to wash them by hand with warm water and mild soap. Not suitable for dishwashers, as this would reduce their lifespan. After washing, dry them immediately and thoroughly to prevent stains from forming.
Using proper storage ensures not only safety but also the longevity and performance of your knives.
Secure transport
When travelling, we recommend using our specially designed leather sheaths to protect your knives.
Drawer storage
If you prefer to store your knives in a drawer, make sure to protect them with plastic sheaths. This will prevent the blades from being damaged by contact with other utensils.
Kitchen storage
If you keep your knives in the kitchen, opt for a knife block or a magnetic strip. These solutions allow you to store your knives safely while keeping them easily accessible.
