Santoku knife - 180mm

With minimalist good loooks and comfortable hand feel, this santoku will have you searching through the fridge looking for any good excuse to cut something.

Kanetsune Ichizu Series

Produced by Kanetsune bladesmiths in Seki Japan. The blade is created from a single solid layer of VG10 steel and matched to a traditionally shaped handle made from durable pakkawood. The thin, sharp blades give a silky cutting experience especially when using more of a slicing style action.

Extra attention has been given to maximise sharpness and cutting precision with this Ichizu santoku knife.

The gorgeous octagonal pakkawood handle gives a secure grip.

An excellent choice for those who enjoy an accurate cutting experience. For those of you with a heavy handed cutting style, this series is not the best choice.

A very popular gift.

Care Instructions

Knife care for stainless steel knives

  • Never put in the dishwasher.
  • Dry thoroughly after handwashing and do not store unless fully dry.
  • Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
  • Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
  • Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
