Muneishi Kurouchi Santoku 17 cm Aogami

The versatile, 170 mm Muneishi Santoku knife will come in handy for various kitchen tasks. Cutting and chopping with this beautiful, dark blade will always be a pleasure.

Muneishi is an extremely professional and well-known series of knives, widely appreciated for their excellent blade profile. A unique production technique called Warikomi is used in the manufacture of these kitchen products. It involves using soft iron cladding surrounding a hard core of Aogami #2 carbon steel. As a result, the knife blades gain extraordinary hardness, reaching a level of 63-64 HRC. This is due to the hardening and heat treatment, which also makes Muneishi knives easy to sharpen. This process also guarantees that they stay sharp for longer. The beautiful, aesthetic black finish of the Kurouchi blade provides a unique, raw style. The oval-shaped handle is made of cherry wood and has a very nice, red ferrule.

Using a Muneishi knife also means taking care of it – the knife should be washed and dried after each use to prevent rusting.
