In Japanese culture, the santoku is the kitchen knife. It is a single blade that can be used for three (”san”) things: vegetables, fish and meat. Today, everyone is familiar with it, and it is highly appreciated for its versatility: it is a sure value.
The VG-10 steel blade is “san-mai’ (three layer). This method makes the heart of the steel harder. VG-10 is a high-tech alloy that is now widely used for its technical properties. Compared with classical stainless steel, it resists wear and strain better, and the razor edge remains sharpened longer. This steel is also very resistant to rust and stains.
The magnolia-wood handle is “D-shaped” to prevent it from slipping in the hand. It is painted golden with white marbling, and then varnished for protection. This very successful finishing truly makes this knife beautiful while delivering a touch of originality.
