A classic Santoku made in Japan from proven AUS 8 steel.

Medium knife “three virtues” which is convenient to cut fish and meat, as well as chop vegetables.

Due to the universal length, it may even be the only normal knife in the kitchen.

It will allow you to keep within a small budget when buying, and with careful handling will last for many years.

Blade:

Three-layer stainless laminate in plates of SUS410 steel and core of harder AUS8 (Aichi Steel).

Knife is made in Japan, at facilities of Seki Kanetsugu Co. Ltd using manual works and high precision CNC machines.

Hardness of cutting edge 57HRC.

Thickness about 2 mm in thickening.

Grind of the blade is symmetrical in european style.

Handle:

Made from Rosewood with impregnation that prevents swelling and extends the service life.

Tree is more pleasant to the touch and has a lively non-repeating noble pattern.

The middle handle, with a convenient geometry, normally fits in both the female hand and the large male palm.

Balance a bit ahead.

It should be noted that knives with a handle made of wood, despite the high-quality processing, are not designed for washing in dishwashers and sterilization, which is sometimes a prerequisite for cafés and restaurants.

For use in industrial environments, we have presented a great series of Kanetsugu PRO-S, Tojiro-Pro and Tojiro-Color, with stainless steel or high-tech polymer handles designed for sterilization.

Care and storage tips:

Adhering to these simple recommendations, the owner will enjoy a Japanese knives set for many years, because a quality-made knife is designed for decades of faithful life.

We offer the same complete service for subsequent maintenance and sharpening.
