Muneishi Kurouchi Black Santoku 18 cm Aogami

The Muneishi Santoku Knife, with a blade length of 180 mm, is an indispensable kitchen aid, allowing for easy cutting and chopping with its elegant, dark blade. Its versatility guarantees satisfaction, even during the most demanding kitchen tasks.

The uniqueness of this series of kitchen knives lies in the advanced Warikomi production method. This technique combines outer layers of stainless steel with a hard core of prestigious Aogami #2 steel, resulting in exceptional blade hardness of 63-64 HRC. Thanks to the hardening process, the blade is not only easy to sharpen, but also retains its sharpness for a long time, which is the result of careful heat treatment. The unique character of these knives is emphasized by Kurouchi – a traditional dark finish of the blade, which is both practical and aesthetic.

The cherry wood handle adds natural beauty to the knife and ensures comfort of use thanks to its round shape. The elegant black ferrule not only strengthens the structure, but also distinguishes the knife with its unique style, making it not only a kitchen tool, but also a decorative element.
