From Seki City, the historic heart of Japanese cutlery, comes this beautiful Kotetsu Santoku. The Santoku (meaning "Three Virtues") is the most popular household knife in Japan, designed to be shorter and more nimble than a chef's knife, making it perfect for chopping, slicing, and dicing vegetables, fish, and meat.

The blade is crafted from high-performance VG-10 Stainless Steel, a material renowned for its excellent edge retention and high resistance to rust.

This makes it a perfect choice for home cooks who want professional sharpness without the high maintenance of carbon steel.

Appearance

The blade features a stunning 17-layer Damascus pattern overlaid with a hammered (Tsuchime) finish.

This hammered texture creates small air pockets that help reduce friction, preventing food from sticking to the blade while cutting.

While machine-made for precision, each blade is hand-sharpened by skilled artisans in Seki to ensure a razor-sharp edge right out of the box.

The handle is made from durable, water-resistant Packer wood (Pakkawood), offering a comfortable grip.

**Care Instructions: This knife is made of stainless steel, but to maintain its beauty and sharp edge, we recommend washing it by hand and drying it thoroughly after each use. Please do not use a dishwasher. Do not attempt to cut frozen food, bones, or other extremely hard objects.
