Takahisa Damascus Santoku 18 cm Rosewood VG-10

The Santoku Knife, derived from Japanese culinary tradition, is the equivalent of the Western chef's knife and is characterized by its versatility in performing a variety of kitchen tasks. The name “Santoku” symbolically refers to “three advantages”: cutting, chopping, and slicing, which emphasizes its versatility. Its popularity among European chefs is growing, thanks to its wide blade and compact size, which ensure comfort and control during use.

The Takahisa Damascus Rosewood Knife series combines aesthetics and practicality. The 17-layer Damascus steel, used to make the blades, reinforced with a core of renowned VG10 steel, known for its durability, creates the perfect cutting tool. The “Tsuchime” technique not only enhances the beauty of the blades, but also contributes to their unmatched sharpness, achieving a hardness of 61+/-1 HRC, which ensures exceptional cutting properties. The handle, inspired by classic Japanese design and made of elegant rosewood, guarantees comfort and stability of grip, which is crucial for precise and safe use of the knife.
