This knife is a true masterpiece. A special design combined with the highest quality materials ensures the long-term satisfaction of every user. We made this series in a limited number of 16 copies, which further increases their exclusivity and value.

Santoku is a universal form of Japanese knife. With it, you can process any group of foods with ease. It is particularly suitable for households, and its shape stimulates you to chop as much as possible, so you will especially enjoy preparing vegetables.

The blade is made in 3 layers, in the San-Mai technique. This technique involves overlapping two softer steels around one, extremely hard central one, in this case Aogami Super steel. This construction not only improves the aesthetic appearance of the knife itself, but also contributes to its resistance to cracking, and Aogami Super is considered by many blacksmiths to be the best quality steel for making knives. The finish of this knife is called Kuro-nashiji, which means a textured black finish on the body of the knife that is completely unique and unique every time.

The handle is made of oak wood in an octagonal shape, and two wood preservation techniques have been applied to it. Lightly burning the wood increases its resistance to external influences and makes the handle look more rustic. In addition, it is coated with a thin layer of Japanese Urashi lacquer, which is applied by hand and gives additional protection and a natural feeling in the hand.
The octagonal shape is designed to improve the grip itself, and the oak wood has antibacterial properties.

How to choose the first Japanese knife?

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Japanese knife as a perfect gift

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
