Santoku knife with VG10 core and 61 layers of Damascus

This handcrafted santoku knife from Knifemakers marries traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern materials. Featuring an 18 cm blade made of VG10 steel encased in 61 layers of Damascus and a sleek handle made of bone with brass bolsters, you have a tool that impresses both visually and in performance.

Ideal for precise work with vegetables, fish, and smaller cuts of meat, the santoku's wide blade ensures optimal contact with the cutting board.

Japanese precision for everyday cooking

The santoku knife is crafted by master blacksmith Takeshi Saji from the renowned knife town of Takefu in Japan. The VG10 steel core provides exceptional sharpness that lasts, while the 61 layers of Damascus steel not only create a unique pattern but also enhance the blade's strength and durability. With a hardness rating of 60-62 HRC, this knife maintains its sharpness even after frequent use, reducing the need for re-sharpening.

Balanced comfort and control

The bone handle with brass bolsters not only gives the knife a luxurious appearance but also ensures perfect balance. Weighing in at 310 grams, the knife sits comfortably in your hand, providing full control whether you're chopping, slicing, or dicing. The gray tone of the steel highlights the Damascus pattern, making each knife a unique piece of craftsmanship that serves as both a tool and a conversation starter in the kitchen.

Maintaining your Japanese masterpiece

To preserve the knife's quality and appearance, always wash it by hand and thoroughly dry it after use. The knife is not dishwasher safe. A light application of oil on the blade after cleaning will protect the steel and enhance the beautiful Damascus pattern. Avoid using the knife on hard materials like bones or frozen foods, as this can damage the fine edge.

This kitchen tool offers you: • Superior cutting precision through VG10 steel core and 61 layers of Damascus • Long-lasting sharpness with a hardness rating of 60-62 HRC • Ergonomic comfort with balanced weight and natural bone handle
