Masakage Koishi Santoku 16.5 cm Aogami Super

The practical Masakage Koishi Santoku Knife with a blade length of 165 mm is a versatile tool for a variety of kitchen tasks. This Japanese knife is the equivalent of a classic chef's knife, offering precision and efficiency.

Masakage Koishi knives are unique creations by Master Yoshimi Kato from the renowned Takefu Knife Village. They are distinguished by the use of Aogami Super Steel, which is used to make a hard core with a hardness of 63-65 HRC. The San Mai construction blades consist of this core, surrounded by two layers of stainless steel. The octagonal handle is made of cherry wood, and the decorative Pakka wood ferrule adds elegance. The name “Koishi” refers to stones, and the hammered finish of the blade (Tsuchime) resembles smooth river stones, which is the inspiration for the name of the collection.

This series is highly regarded among Masakage knives for its exceptional hardness and sharpness. Each knife is handmade, giving it a unique character and individuality. It is a tool that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality.
