440C steel santoku knife 180 mm - hammered blade with bamboo saya

The santoku's name translates as "three virtues" — chopping, slicing, and preparing fish — and this 18 cm blade honours all three. Its tsuchime hammered finish creates small air pockets between blade and food, reducing drag so ingredients release cleanly with each cut. The 1.8 mm thin blade glides rather than crushes, keeping textures and flavours intact.

The black pakkawood handle sits comfortably in hand, its hidden full tang keeping the knife balanced from tip to heel. A bamboo saya and bamboo gift box are included, making storage and presentation equally considered.
