This santoku is forged from AUS10 stainless steel, similar in character to AEB-L, and wrapped in the gorgeous polished Damascus cladding that defines the Tsunehisa Nami line. Santokus are general-purpose knives and remain popular for good reason - home cooks love the combination of a tall blade with a shorter, easy-to-control length. This one has a nicely flat spot transitioning from the heel into a subtle belly, finished with a finely crafted tip suited to all styles of cutting. The Damascus cladding is genuinely stunning - the high polish and bold pattern, combined with the sturdy octagonal handle, make this knife stand out anywhere it goes.
Care Instructions: AUS10 is a stainless steel - low maintenance and resistant to corrosion. Hand wash and dry after each use. Avoid the dishwasher, bones, frozen foods, and hard materials. Sharpen on quality water stones and strop regularly between full sharpenings.
