Hand-forged 7" GoMai Santoku — precision, balance, and raw beauty engineered for the serious cook. A true performance blade: an Aogami #2 core delivers razor stability and edge retention, wrapped in 150 layers of Damascus for strength, resilience, and a signature, shifting pattern that evolves with use. The GoMai construction gives a refined balance between hard core and resilient cladding, making this Santoku ideal for fine slicing, rocking chops, and everyday kitchen duties. The handle is a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art: a stabilized cross-cut of lightning-struck cherry paired with rich African padauk, accented by a stainless steel inlay. The stabilization locks in the wood’s dramatic grain and color, while the padauk adds warmth, density, and visual contrast. Together they create a tactile, ergonomic grip that feels natural in hand and ages with character. Dimensions and feel: - Blade length: 7" — versatile for vegetables, boneless proteins, and precision tasks - Balance designed for control and smooth motion - Finish: hand-polished spine and bevels, refined Damascus reveal Every GoMai Santoku from jLbladeWerks is forged, finished, and fitted by a single maker — a purposeful, one-off tool built to perform and to be passed on.
