Okimoto Sanma Knives

• Subtle damascus pattern
• VG10 Stainless steel
• Pakkawood handle
• Non-perfect finish to keep the price down. Please see photos showing examples of imperfections such as non-flush construction.
• Silky sharp out of the box

These are budget production knives - not perfectly finished, but for the price they are fantastic cutters and much 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 Kanetsune range or Okimoto Buri.

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.
