The Makoto Kurosaki Sakura Tsuchime Santoku 17 cm SG2 is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife combining powdered steel performance with traditional Echizen craftsmanship. The Santoku profile supports precise slicing, chopping, and general kitchen tasks.
The blade features a SG2 powdered stainless steel core, known for excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Heat treated to approximately 62–63 HRC, it delivers long lasting sharpness and stable cutting performance. Stainless cladding improves durability and simplifies maintenance.
The Tsuchime hammered finish enhances food release while giving the blade a distinctive forged texture. A thin geometry and double bevel grind allow smooth, controlled cuts for both right and left handed users.
The octagonal cherry wood handle offers balanced handling and natural grip. Lightweight construction ensures comfort during extended kitchen work.
