The Santoku is a terrific all-rounder in the kitchen, and a great place to start your knife collection. The 18cm (7inch) blade  is made with 67 layers of Damascus steel, the handle is dark grain wood with a mother-of-pearl feature. This is a nicely weighted knife which sits comfortably in the hand. These knives are pre-sharpened (sharp!) and ready to use.
 
All our knives are etched with our brand, Itsukuchi-hocho, meaning "beautiful kitchen knife" in Japanese. All are carefully packed for shipping, with with safety caps on both ends of the blade, in a cardboard sleeve, and packed in a stylish black gift box.
 
Working with good knives is a delight. These knives are beautifully made, with great care taken to manufacture a precision cutting edge. We're confident you will enjoy using them.
