[ PREMIUM JAPANESE STEEL ] - The damascus steel blade is hand forged in Japan from 66 layers of high carbon stainless steel with an ultra sharp VG-10 steel core and is hand sharpened to a 14 degree angle by skilled Kimura craftsmen. The blade is heat treated to 61 HRC which offers a strong combination of edge retention, sharpness and rust resistance.

[ HAMMERED FINISH ] - Kimura's japanese damascus steel knives have a traditional hammered finish completed by hand (tsuchime). This helps prevent food from clinging to the blade when chopping.

Pakka wood is also heat and moisture resistant making it highly durable in the kitchen. Accompanied with a full bolster, the knife handle is ergonomic allowing chefs to choose between a regular, pointed finger or pinch grip.

[ HIGHLY VERSATILE ] - The japanese santoku is a versatile kitchen knife with a straight edge and curved belly, making it an ideal all-round choice for slicing through meats, fruits and vegetables.
