The Santoku is a versatile Japanese knife that handles meat, fish, and vegetables with ease—perfect for home kitchens and general-purpose use.
This knife features a double-edged honwarikomi construction, using a hard steel core clad with softer iron for excellent sharpness and control. This Hiromoto-made Santoku is no longer in production, making it a rare find. There is a small crack in the handle due to age, but it doesn’t affect usability and is reflected in the price.
It comes sharpened and ready for use. Please be careful when unpacking. Sharpening service is included.
It features engravings "登録" (Registered), "宏元作" (Hiromoto), and "はがね本割込" (Hagane Honwarikomi).
A collector-worthy Santoku with heritage craftsmanship—ideal for users who appreciate rarity and traditional construction.
SHARPENED by a Japanese Sharpener. Razor sharp. The sharpener is in Kyoto, the traditional city in Japan as you know. You can use without maintenance. You don't need to pay maintenance costs after receiving. If any, please feel free to ask, English available.
