Extremely adaptable Japanese kitchen santoku knife crafted by Takefu-based master knifemaker Takumi Ikeda. The 17-centimeter blade is composed of Chromax steel, a stainless steel that was produced in the village and has qualities that are most similar to those of carbon steels. The knife's sturdy, non-slip polyurethane grip not only feels incredibly comfortable in the hand but also enhances its sleek, contemporary appearance. This handmade santoku's balance and crispness are sure to make an impression on anybody.
