Santoku is a cross between a chef's knife (gyuto) and a chopping knife (nakiri). The tip of the blade, which is directed down from the center of the knife, makes it possible to find a more stable support and a larger cutting surface on the working surface. Well suited for cutting and shredding meat, fish, root and fruit. Santoku is a very popular common knife in Japanese homes. Thanks to the wider blade, it is very convenient to lift chopped food from the cutting board to the pot with the help of santoku.

This 33-layer knife with hammered surface treatment and a classic western-type handle belongs to the "bestsellers" of Sakai Takayuki. The aesthetic appearance, the quality of the final finish and the utmost sharpness are impressive. The knife is convenient and effective in use. Sharpening and care do not require much effort, because the blade really keeps sharpness for a long time and is stainless. Spain mahogany wood has been used to make the handle, and the VG-10 steel core has reached a figure of 60-61 HRC on the Rockwell scale during heat treatment.
