Takamura Santoku 17 cm Chromax

You will find that the Takamura Santoku kitchen knife with a 170 mm blade is extremely handy and can be used for a wide range of culinary tasks. It is the Japanese equivalent of a classic chef's knife.

Takamura Chromax Japanese knives are known for their perfect workmanship and very high quality. They combine functionality with attention to detail in a highly successful way. The core is made of Chromax stainless steel surrounded by soft steel for protection. Chromax is the best new steel for making kitchen knives. It is easy to sharpen and stays sharp for a long time. Takamura's goal was to produce a series of knives with high cutting performance, and he has certainly achieved this. The collection's unique hammered look is achieved through a special finishing method called Tsuchime. The blades have been hardened to a hardness of 60-62 HRC. Their exceptional sharpness is due to hand sharpening and the fact that they are very thin. The handle, made from black pakka wood, fits perfectly with the whole. Each knife is packaged in a decorative gift box.
