Description:
This knife blade is a traditional Japanese santoku blade, hand-forged with a focus on precision, control, and efficiency in the kitchen. With a blade length of 165 mm, you get a compact and highly versatile size that works well for most tasks.
Santoku means “three virtues,” referring to the blade’s ability to handle meat, fish, and vegetables with high precision. The relatively straight edge makes it particularly well-suited for push-cutting, which provides fast and even cuts.
The blade is made of Japanese Blue 2 carbon steel, known for its extremely high sharpness and excellent edge retention. This provides a precise and responsive cutting experience, especially for finer work in the kitchen.
With a thickness of about 3 mm at the spine that tapers toward the edge, you get a good balance between strength and precision. At the same time, the blade is relatively light, which provides a nimble and controlled feel in use.
The surface has a traditional kurouchi finish, where the dark, forged surface provides a rustic and authentic look. Additionally, this finish helps protect the steel and gives each blade a unique touch.
This is a blank blade without a handle, giving you the opportunity to build your own Japanese kitchen knife. You can shape and customize the handle according to your preferred style and choice of materials, creating a personal and functional tool.
The result will be a precise, versatile, and handcrafted kitchen knife – made in your own style.
