This Santoku has been forged from 60 layers of alternating 80CRV2 and 15N20 carbon steel. It features a forged distal taper with a brute de forge finish and a deep etch to distinguish the layers. The spine and choil have been rounded to ensure comfort whilst using the pinch grip. The octagonal handle was sculpted from ancient bog oak carbon dated between 3500-5000 years old, paired with a rosewood ferrule. All of our handles are finished with a food safe mineral oil and beeswax to protect the natural wood.
Inspired by traditional Japanese knives, the Santoku is a great all rounder and able to perform on a variety of ingredients. Santoku means “three virtues” in Japanese referring to slicing, dicing and mincing.
