Masutani Damascus Ko-Santoku 13 cm VG-10

The 130 mm Masutani Santoku Knife is a versatile, hand-forged kitchen tool that can successfully replace a traditional chef's knife.

Produced with passion by master blacksmiths in the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture, it enjoys a reputation equal to that of much more expensive brands. The heart of the knife is made of durable VG-10 stainless steel, surrounded by a beautiful 31-layer Damascus pattern, which not only adds character, but also contributes to long-lasting sharpness. The heat treatment increases the hardness of the blade to 61-62 HRC, ensuring long-lasting cutting performance. The Pakka wood handle is exceptionally resistant to high temperatures and humidity, making this knife an excellent choice for culinary enthusiasts and those just starting their adventure with the Japanese art of cooking.
