The Narihira Basis Santoku Knife with a 16.5 cm blade in Japanese hard steel gives you an affordable quality knife that truly cuts. This knife is produced under licence for Tojiro, with a focus on creating a budget-friendly knife range that still delivers excellent cutting performance. With a light wood handle, the knife sits comfortably in the hand during use.
Ideal for everyday cooking where you need to chop, slice, and cut both meat, fish, and vegetables. The santoku knife is a versatile knife that serves as the perfect all-round tool in the kitchen.
A well-balanced combination of quality and price
The Narihira range has been developed as Tojiro's economy series, offering a knife with outstanding cutting performance at a very competitive price. The knives are processed in the East and undergo final quality control in Japan, ensuring a consistently good result. The steel is specially produced for the Narihira range with a hardness of 59 HRC, which provides an excellent balance between sharpness and ease of maintenance. The knife's single-layer steel construction makes it easier to maintain than more advanced knives.
Practical for daily use
One of the great advantages of the Narihira Basis knife is that it is easier to sharpen with an ordinary honing steel compared to harder Japanese knives. This makes it particularly well suited to everyday use, where you can quickly refresh the edge. The light wood handle provides a secure grip and a classic aesthetic in your kitchen. The santoku design with its 16.5 cm blade gives you the right size for most everyday kitchen tasks.
Caring for your knife
To keep your Narihira knife in the best possible condition, always wash it by hand after use and dry it thoroughly. Avoid the dishwasher, as this will damage both the edge and the handle. Although the knife does not retain its edge quite as long as more expensive Tojiro models, it can easily be maintained with regular use of a honing steel. When required, the knife can be professionally sharpened to restore its optimum edge.

- A versatile Japanese knife for all everyday kitchen tasks
