AUS-10 has more than 2x the carbon content than other premium steels. The blade, heat treated to HRC 61 +/-1 hardness, keeps its razor-sharp edge cut after cut.

Ergonomically Engineered

The perfect weight distribution and hand-polished pakkawood handle have been designed for you to cut effortlessly through the toughest food without compromising on comfort.

_____________________________

The Santoku's thin blade allows precise and sharp cuts, never crushing even the most delicate food to preserve their full flavor.

Besides its aesthetic appeal, the “Tsuchime” (槌目) - hammered pattern creates tiny pockets of air between the blade and the food being cut. This ancestral Japanese method reduces drag, thus preventing food from sticking to the blade.
