Santoku knife 180 mm - hammered 440C steel with bamboo saya

The santoku — meaning "three virtues" in Japanese — earns its name with a blade shaped equally for vegetables, meat and fish. At 1.8 mm thin, the hammered Tsuchime pattern across the blade creates small air pockets that reduce drag and keep food from clinging as you work, making each cut clean and deliberate.

The blade is forged from 440C high-carbon stainless steel, hardened to HRC 60 ±1, and set into a black pakkawood handle with a hidden full tang for a secure, balanced feel in the hand. A fitted bamboo saya — the traditional Japanese blade cover — is included to protect both edge and worktop when the knife is at rest.
