Masashi Damascus Kuro Santoku 17 cm SLD

The Masashi Damascus Kuro Santoku 17 cm SLD is an indispensable tool in every kitchen, combining Japanese precision with modern craftsmanship. Santoku, meaning “three advantages,” is a versatile knife that is perfect for cutting vegetables, meat, and fish. Its compact length of 16.8 cm makes it extremely handy and easy to use.

The blade is made of durable SLD steel, known for its excellent abrasion resistance and high hardness of 63-64 HRC. This keeps the knife sharp for a long time and requires less frequent sharpening. Layered stainless steel cladding increases corrosion resistance, and the hand-finished Kurouchi finish gives the blade a raw, artisanal look and protects it from oxidation. The Damascus pattern further emphasizes the unique character of each piece.

The magnolia wood and buffalo ferrule handle provides excellent ergonomics and a comfortable grip. The lightweight construction and balance make the knife ideal for long hours of work in the kitchen without causing hand fatigue. The traditional wa handle guarantees precise control over the cut, and the slightly curved edge of the blade facilitates smooth chopping.

The Masashi Damascus Kuro Santoku 17 cm SLD combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern technologies, making it the perfect choice for both professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts.
