The universal and representative all-purpose knife for home use has the strengths of both the traditional nakiri and the Western butcher's knife.
Santoku means "three uses" or "three virtues," derived from its flexibility in cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. Its double-bevel blade is more comprehensive than a Gyuto, making it a fine choice for right and left-handed people.
Kobuse Forging – Traditional Japanese Swordsmithing Technique
This knife is crafted using the Kobuse method, a traditional Japanese forging technique once used to make samurai swords. A soft iron core is wrapped inside a hard high-carbon steel jacket, combining exceptional cutting performance with added durability and shock absorption.
This particular blade is a Honyaki-style knife from Tosa, hand-forged by a skilled blacksmith using time-honored methods.
