Santoku Knife with VG10 Core and 61 Layers of Damascus

This handcrafted santoku knife from Knifemakers combines Japanese craftsmanship tradition with modern materials. With an 18 cm blade made of VG10 steel surrounded by 61 layers of damascus and an elegant handle made of bone with a brass bolster, you get 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 provides optimal contact with the cutting board.

Japanese Precision for Everyday Cooking

The santoku knife is crafted by master blacksmith Takeshi Saji from the historic knife town of Takefu in Japan. The VG10 steel core offers exceptional sharpness that lasts, while the 61 layers of damascus steel not only create a unique pattern but also contribute to the blade's strength and durability. The blade's hardness of 60-62 HRC ensures that the knife retains its sharpness even after frequent use, reducing the need for resharpening.

Balanced Comfort and Control

The bone handle with a brass bolster not only gives the knife a luxurious appearance but also provides perfect balance. Weighing a total of 310 grams, the knife sits steadily in your hand, giving you full control for chopping, slicing, and cutting tasks. The gray hue 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, it should always be hand-washed and thoroughly dried after use. The knife is not dishwasher safe. A light application of oil to the blade after cleaning will protect the steel and enhance the beautiful damascus pattern. Avoid using the knife on hard materials such as 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 of 60-62 HRC • Ergonomic comfort with balanced weight and natural bone handle
