An 8.75" San Mai Santoku, handcrafted for cooks who demand performance and presence. At its heart: an Aogami #2 core for razor-ready edge retention, sandwiched in 15N20 outer walls for striking contrast and toughness, and finished with a pure nickel shim that adds a luminous divider to the blade’s pattern. Each blade is forged, ground, heat-treated, and hand-finished to bring out a responsive, enduring edge and a dramatic San Mai aesthetic. The handle is stabilized Bay Laurel, its warm, wild grain preserved and brightened, complemented by a brass inlay and a fractal-burned finish that adds depth and one-of-a-kind character. Balanced and comfortable in the hand, this Santoku blends refined geometry with bold artistry — a working kitchen knife that reads as an heirloom. Built by one artisan in America for cooks who want tools that perform as beautifully as they look.
