An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Santoku knife, a classic in Japanese kitchens, translates to "three virtues," symbolizing its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter, versatile blade and a balanced design, it's ideal for a range of tasks, from cutting meat to chopping vegetables, making it a beloved all-purpose tool.

Steel Type Read

SG2 is considered by many as the best knifemaking steel in Japan. It gives all the benefits of carbon steel (very long edge retention, general ease of sharpening) without the carbon steel stresses of maintenance. It'll hold an edge for a long time, and can quickly and easily be refreshed on a whetstone or ceramic honing steel.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Knife arrived in a timely fashion and was absolutely stunning. Knife was razor sharp out of the box with no damage from transit. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

Cutting Edge

I bought a knife, it is very sharp, very nice to look at and easy to clean. Instructions were included for sharpening a Japanese knife - this being important as the blade is thinner than some Western knives. The Chefs Edge staff were very efficient. Delivery was prompt too. Love this knife!

Exactly what I expected and more

Sharp, light, precise. Couldnt be happier

Fantastic Knife

I use this knife all the time - the balance and weight is perfect for most chopping in the kitchen! The design is stunning too - both the Damascus Steel and the handle with it's awesome pop off turquoise. I'm looking forward to more knives in this range to come back in stock so I can add to my collection.
