The Sentan SLD Nashiji Santoku 165mm with blue ferrule is a compact, highly practical knife that excels at everyday prep. Built around SLD semi-stainless steel, it delivers excellent edge retention, solid toughness, and easy maintenance compared to more demanding steels. The thin grind and balanced profile allow for smooth, controlled cutting, whether you’re slicing vegetables, mincing herbs, or portioning proteins.
The stainless cladding improves corrosion resistance and is finished with a nashiji texture that adds subtle character. The exposed SLD edge provides a clean visual contrast and highlights the working portion of the blade. An olive wood handle offers a comfortable grip, while the blue acrylic ferrule adds a bold visual touch and durability. This santoku is an excellent all-around performer for both new and experienced users.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not store the knife wet or leave it in a sheath or saya while damp. Avoid cutting hard or frozen foods. Use a wooden or soft synthetic cutting board. SLD steel is semi-stainless and may develop a light patina over time; this is normal and does not affect performance.
