Santoku 175x53 mm high carbon steel

A fine Japanese-inspired santoku knife. "Santoku" means "three tasks" in Japanese, reflecting the knife's intended use. It is an all-purpose knife suitable for most kitchen tasks.

The blade is hand-forged from carbon steel (80CrV2), and the handle is made of stabilized maple with a G-10 bolster. The edge has a slightly convex grind.

Since the knife is made of carbon steel, there is a risk of surface rust forming if the blade is not kept dry. This is easy to prevent by simply wiping the blade after use. Carbon steel is a living material, so it is very likely that a light patina will develop on the blade, for example, when cutting vegetables with high acidity. In many people's eyes, the patina is very beautiful and adds value to the knife.
