The santoku is a versatile knife suitable for meat, fish, and vegetables. Dewa Steel has a very high carbon content of about 1.4%, making it an exceptionally hard material that requires advanced heat-treatment skill. Even today, when production is highly mechanized, only experienced craftsmen can truly handle this material well. This knife is clearly a handmade piece. It shows only light use and little blade wear, and it remains in very good condition.
This knife features double-edged warikomi construction, combining sharpness with ease of use. Its handmade feel and high-performance core steel make it especially appealing to users who value craftsmanship and a crisp, responsive cutting edge.
The knife has been sharpened, so it is ready to use immediately upon arrival. Please handle with care when unpacking. The price includes the sharpening fee.
It features the engravings "葉隠" (Hagakure), "別作" (Custom Made), and "出羽鋼" (Dewa Steel).
