SHAPE: Santoku. Named after the three best things to do with this knife - slicing, dicing and mincing. It is the classic veg prep knife with both good breadth and width.

STEEL: Shirogami (white paper) 1 steel. This steel has the highest amount of carbon out of the paper steels so will get crazy sharp easily. Due to the non stainless nature of this steel care must be taken to dry the knives properly after use. Having said this it is worth noting that these knives are clad with stainless steel meaning only the core will discolour greatly reducing maintenance.

FINISH: Polished

HANDLE: Octagonal Magnolia handle with black Buffalo horn ferule

BLADE LENGTH: 180mm

MAKER: Sakai Kikumori x Nakagawa Hamono
