Product Description
A santoku built the way the pattern is meant to be — flatter belly, shorter and taller than a Western chef knife, with a Granton edge whose hollow scallops break the suction that makes potato and cucumber slices cling to the blade. J2 high-carbon stainless holds an edge at 58–60 HRC while resisting the staining that catches out carbon steel users.
Key Features
- Granton edge — hollow scallops along the blade release food cleanly and reduce drag
- J2 high-carbon stainless — the edge retention of high carbon with far better corrosion resistance
- Micarta handle — resin-impregnated composite that resists moisture, will not swell or crack, and grips well even wet
- Professional hardness — heat treated to 58–60 HRC
- 100% handmade — individually forged and finished
- Gift box included — handmade presentation box

Is this knife legal where I live?
Knife laws vary by state, county, and city. It is the buyer's responsibility to confirm that this item is legal to own and carry in your area before ordering. You must be 18 or older to purchase.
Can I get it engraved?
Many of our blades offer custom engraving — look for the engraving option on eligible listings. Personalized engraving typically adds about 2 days before dispatch.
Care & Maintenance
Damascus steel is high-carbon and can spot or patina if left wet. Keep the blade clean, dry, and lightly oiled. Hand-wash and dry kitchen knives immediately after use — never leave them soaking or run them through a dishwasher.
Are these food-safe?
Our chef and kitchen knives are made for food preparation. Wash and dry each knife before its first use. Decorative swords and display pieces are not intended for food use.
