Sentan SLD Nashiji Santoku 180mm Green

The Sentan SLD Nashiji Santoku 180mm with green ferrule is a versatile, easy-to-use knife designed for everyday kitchen work. “Sentan,” meaning “tip” or “leading edge,” reflects a focus on performance and value. The SLD semi-stainless core provides excellent edge retention, good toughness, and easier sharpening than many high-hardness stainless steels. The profile offers a gentle curve with a relatively flat edge, making it great for push cutting, chopping, and light rocking.

The blade features stainless steel cladding for added corrosion resistance, with a nashiji finish on the upper portion and an exposed SLD edge for a clean, purposeful look. The olive wood handle feels comfortable and natural in hand, while the green acrylic ferrule adds a subtle accent and durability. Well-balanced and nimble, this santoku is a great choice for home cooks looking for a dependable daily driver.

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.
