Product description:

This handmade Japanese knife is the result of a collaboration between third-generation blacksmiths from Tadafusa (Sanjo, Niigata) and industrial designer Fumie Shibata . It combines traditional craftsmanship with modern style , resulting in a comfortable grip and excellent cutting performance .

The Santoku model is a versatile kitchen knife that serves as a more compact alternative to a chef's knife . Its straighter edge and shorter blade are ideal for slicing meat, fish, vegetables and fruit .

Premium Japanese SLD steel

The blade is forged from SLD steel , which, thanks to 1.5% carbon, reaches a hardness of 61-62 HRC Rockwell . The addition of 11-13% chromium makes it resistant to corrosion , so it combines the performance of a carbon knife with low maintenance requirements .

Sanmai construction – stainless steel layers for greater durability

The hard SLD steel core is protected by two layers of soft stainless steel , ensuring long-lasting sharpness and easy sharpening .

Ergonomic chestnut wood handle

The heat-treated chestnut wood handle is resistant to moisture and bacteria . The smooth connection to the knife head provides a comfortable grip and stable control when slicing.

The knife is packaged in a stylish cardboard box - ideal as a gift!

Important notice:

• Not suitable for dishwashers and dish dryers.
• When not in use for a long time, we recommend applying oil to the blade to protect it from corrosion.

This award-winning Japanese knife is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a combination of beautiful design, perfect sharpness, and first-class workmanship.
