Hand-forged by Tadafusa hamono in Sanjo, Japan for the Ohishi brand, this 165mm santoku has a shirogami#2 core at 62 HRC with soft iron damascus cladding. The santoku excels at precision slicing and dicing across vegetables, proteins, and herbs. Light and nimble, it won't fatigue your hand during extended prep work. The whole blade gains character as it patinas over time. Shirogami takes a keen edge and sharpens easily on stones. An all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife that delivers well above its price point.

Notes:
The photo shows one of the knives from our current stock, so it may not be the exact one you'll receive. Each knife is handmade, so no two are exactly alike. If you'd like to see the actual knife, email us at info@zahocho.com.
Minor variations in surface finish and measurements are normal in hand-forged Japanese knives.
Handle is fitted by the maker and shipped as-is. We don't offer handle swaps.
