Okimoto Fugu 170mm Santoku

Great value no fuss multipurpose Japanese knife.

Okimoto Fugu Knives

  • Stainless steel
  • Attractive hammer mark pattern
  • Pakkawood handle
  • Rough assembly, non-perfect finish. Please see photos showing examples of imperfections such as non-flush construction.
  • Very sharp out of the box

These budget production knives are quite roughly finished, but for the price they are fantastic cutters and sharper than you'd expect for a knife in this price bracket. 

If you are looking for a budget series with a smoother fit and finish we recommend the Mcusta Hachi.

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.
