Takamura Tsuchime Santoku 17 cm VG-10

The versatile Takamura Santoku 170 mm Knife is very handy to use and is the Japanese equivalent of a chef's knife.

Knives from the Takamura VG-10 series are high-quality products, ideal for kitchen work. They combine functionality with meticulous workmanship and finish. The hard core is made of VG-10 stainless steel, which is a high-carbon steel designed specifically for the manufacture of kitchen knives. It is characterized by sharpness, resistance to discoloration, and high durability. The core is protected by soft steel, and the blades are finished using the “Tsuchime” technique, which gives them a striking, unique, hammered appearance. During heat treatment, their hardness increases to 60-62 HRC. The blades of these knives are also very thin and hand-sharpened. The wooden handle (made of Pakka wood) perfectly matches the character of the Takamura VG-10 collection. These beautiful Japanese knives are packed in aesthetic gift boxes.
