Okimoto Fugu 170mm Santoku

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.

Okimoto Knives

Named for the legendary drinking samurai from the Mori clan, Okimoto knives are no nonsense workhorses that will leave a few dollars in your wallet for your next bottle of Japanese Sake.

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.
