Masutani Damascus Santoku 16.5 cm VG-10

The Masutani Santoku 165 mm Kitchen Knife is a very handy tool with a wide range of uses. It is the Japanese equivalent of a chef's knife.

Handcrafted by a skilled blacksmith, Masutani knives offer excellent value for money. They are made in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, and their decisive advantage is that they are comparable to other, much more expensive models. They have a core made of high-carbon stainless steel called VG-10, while the outside is covered with 31 layers of Damascus steel. It is thanks to this that the blades have such an impressive appearance. Each knife has undergone heat treatment to a high level of 61-62 HRC. This ensures that they remain sharp for a long time. The Pakka wood handle is resistant to temperature and moisture. It is the perfect choice for cooking enthusiasts and home cooks who are just beginning their adventure with Japanese knives.
