Coming from Seki Kanetsugu’s popular Saiun range of professional kitchen knives, this knife features a gorgeous black handle with a striking red accent, and a very impressive blade constructed out of layered Damascus steel, with 33 layers of VG-10 and SUS410, developing a blade that is both incredibly sharp, and very durable.
This 170mm santoku knife is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a multi-purpose knife with Japanese styling. The santoku is the standard all-purpose kitchen knife in Japanese kitchens, and one of the most popular knife styles across Japan. Thanks to its sheepsfoot blade, it’s fantastic at chopping thick and heavy vegetables, but also excels at slicing meat.
Using the traditions of sword-smithing, Seki Kanetsugu incorporates the traditional and unique Japanese "clamshell blade" into its knives, reproducing the exquisite sharpness of Japanese samurai swords. This 100 year old company, founded by the descendent of a famous swordsmith, is proudly continuing the 700-year tradition of blade-smithing in Seki City.
