The TOJIRO PRO Nickel Damascus Santoku 170mm combines refined cutting performance with a beautifully layered Damascus finish. Built around a VG10 core, the blade is forged with alternating nickel steels to create a flowing ripple pattern while improving density and uniformity for excellent sharpness and edge consistency.
The compact 170mm santoku profile is ideal for home cooks and professionals who want a nimble, all-purpose knife for vegetables, proteins, and everyday prep. It features TOJIRO’s signature all-stainless tornado pattern handle, offering a secure, slip-resistant grip even in wet or busy kitchen environments.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Do not put in the dishwasher. Use a soft cutting board and avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces to prevent chipping. Maintain the edge with regular honing and periodic sharpening on water stones.Maker: TOJIRO
