Santoku, meaning “three virtues,” is a versatile Japanese kitchen knife designed for everyday use, suitable for preparing meat, fish, and vegetables.

This Santoku knife features a blade forged in Miyazaki using traditional kurouchi black forging with Blue Steel No.2, then individually hand-engraved by a craftsman in Toyama. The sharp cutting performance characteristic of Blue Steel No.2 is complemented by the traditional kurouchi finish and elegant engraving, bringing together techniques passed down through different regions of Japan.
