Japanese BBQ Knife – Santoku
Small Santoku — Compact, precise, formidable
The small Santoku proves that power isn’t defined by size. With its short, sharp blade, it handles everyday cutting with surgical precision: fresh herbs, grilled meats, crunchy vegetables, last-minute prep—nothing resists, nothing delays.
Its versatile profile, inherited from Japanese tradition, meets the energy of fire and charcoal: fast, sharp, essential. Its lively, responsive grip delivers instant control, perfect for those who work at the pace of the grill while keeping a light hand.
The dense, refined ebony handle gives it a bold presence and a confident grip, built for instinctive action.
The small Santoku doesn’t stand out by size…
But by everything else.

Regular sharpening
To maintain precise cutting and optimal performance, frequently use a whetstone or sharpening steel. This simple routine extends the life of your knives while ensuring an incomparable cutting experience.
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.
