Santoku without handle

Santoku, all-purpose knife, with 166 mm long blade.

This item is delivered without a handle.

Yoshikane has its manufacturing in Sanjo, Japan. The knives are characterized by a relatively thick spine and extremely thin and sharp edges. They cut fantastically well but are also sensitive to rough handling. It is a knife that delivers performance at the highest possible level. We highly recommend it! 

Core steel: Shirogami #2 (62-63 HRC)
Cladding: Stainless steel with a blackened finish.
Blade height: 51 mm
Blade length: 166 mm
Spine thickness at heel: 4.5 mm
Spine thickness in the middle: 2 mm
Weight: 113 grams

NOTE: Shirogami#2 is not stainless. Always remember to wipe the edge dry to avoid rust. Since the steel is reactive, a patina will develop relatively quickly. If you cut proteins, a blue and green patina will appear, while vegetables will give more of a gray and brownish patina.
