Sazanami Santoku Knife

The all-purpose blade of the house. Santoku translates as three virtues, and it covers them daily: meat, fish, and vegetables from one comfortable grip. Forged and finished in Seki, Japan.

Features

• Straight-leaning geometry favors the quick vertical chop over the long rock.
• The broad cheek ferries diced vegetables from board to pot in one tilt.
• At this length it maneuvers easily where counter space or hand size runs small.
• The core steel is VG-10, heat-treated until the Rockwell tester reads 60 ±2, which keeps sharpening sessions rare.
• The 67 Damascus layers surface as a flowing grain that no two blades repeat.
• Call it 6 oz of working weight: present in the hand, never tiring.

An octagonal wa grip inlaid with real abalone shimmers like light on water.
