The Tojiro Sakuya Santoku blends traditional Japanese form with modern style. Featuring a VG10 stainless steel core clad in layered Damascus steel, it offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability—perfect for tackling everything from vegetables to proteins with precision.
Its striking Jet-Black Damascus finish, created through electrolytic coloring, sets it apart visually. The dark blade evokes the “new moon,” while the polished edge reflects the “crescent moon.” Finished with an octagonal ebony wood handle, this knife is as functional as it is elegant.
Care & Maintenance: To preserve the beauty and performance of your Sakuya Santoku, we recommend hand washing and drying immediately after use. Avoid soaking or using abrasive scrubbers. Regular honing will maintain its edge, and occasional stropping will enhance sharpness and polish. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the blade and tip.
