Santoku // Black Damascus

Santoku Black Damascus has a slightly shorter blade length than your usual santoku knives. This means it will perfectly serve all those looking for a smaller and narrower knife, suitable for most cutting tasks in your home kitchen. The shape and length of the blade also make it versatile for anyone who doesn't like (or fears) larger knives.

Santoku Black Damascus is forged by Japanese knifemaker Suncraft in the famous knife city Seki in Gifu prefecture. The heart of the knife is the most popular and widely-used steel Japanese knives are made of, VG-10 steel. A 33-layer Damascus cladding means every piece has a unique pattern on the blade, making every knife one-of-a-kind.

The handle attached to the Santoku Black Damascus follows the same logic as the blade— universal and easy to maintain. A beautiful, dark brown, octagonal-shaped pakka wood handle sits well in your hands regardless if you are left- or right-handed. Pakka wood is a mixture of laminated wood and epoxy resin which is highly durable and will not get stained easily.
