The santoku is a cross between a cooking knife (gyuto) and a chopping knife (nakiri). The tip of the blade, which is directed downwards from the center of the knife, allows you to find a more stable support on the work surface and a larger cutting surface. It is well suited for cutting and chopping meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. The santoku is a very popular general knife in Japanese homes Thanks to the wider blade, it is very convenient to use the santoku to lift chopped food from the cutting board into the pot.

Classic knives are characterized by a simple but smart design language and uncompromisingly high quality.

The blade is made of 33 layers of Damascus steel. The cutting core is durable VG-10 steel (HRC 60-61). In addition to the fact that the knife keeps its sharpness for a long time, it is also highly resistant to corrosion, wear and discoloration. The hammered or "tsuchime" finish is beautiful and ensures that the food separates from the blade faster and the cut remains clean.

The handle is made of black boxwood and decorated with a fine red bead. The handle has no rivets, the material is hygienic and withstands wear and tear well.
