The elegant Masutani Santoku Knife, with a blade length of 130 mm, is a versatile tool that will find its place in any kitchen, both amateur and professional. Modeled on the classic chef's knife, this Japanese product represents a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Created in a small workshop in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture, Masutani knives are the result of masterful craftsmanship. Their uniqueness lies in the balance between price and quality, allowing them to compete with more expensive counterparts. The blade, veneered with VG-1 high-carbon stainless steel, is surrounded by layers of hammered steel, which not only catches the eye, but also provides exceptional durability. The hardness of 61 +/- 1 HRC, achieved through heat treatment, guarantees that the knife will serve you for years while retaining its sharpness.

The handle, made of prestigious Pakka wood, not only offers comfort of use, but also resistance to changing kitchen conditions, such as moisture and high temperatures. The Masutani Santoku is the perfect choice for those who value both aesthetics and functionality in their culinary adventures.
