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.
