Santoku is the Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. It is used for various tasks in the kitchen, such as cutting meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables.
This Santoku knife has a blade length of approximately +- 180 mm and a total length of approximately +- 320 mm with the handle. All these knives are handcrafted in our workshop, and variations in size and color may occur. We strive to make them as similar as possible, but each knife is unique!
The weight of the knife is approximately 140-150 grams.
Height at the heel is approximately 54 mm.
The knife features a forged stainless steel blade made from Swedish steel 14c28n by Sandvik. 14c28n is a high-quality steel that maintains excellent sharpness, achieves a very keen edge, and is easy to sharpen. The steel hardness is approximately 63 HRC.
The knife has an S-grind that provides excellent food release and is pleasantly thin behind the edge, allowing effortless cutting. The blade has a fine, sharp belt grind finish.
Even though the steel is stainless, be sure to dry it thoroughly after use and only hand wash.
You can choose from three different handle materials: ancient bog oak, Swedish elm root, and locally harvested masur birch.

Crafts from scratch
We manufacture our knives from the ground up in our forge, often with different types of steel and metals for specific appearance and properties. This process is called welling, where the materials are merged under high pressure. We usually use Swedish steel for its high quality and durability.
Razor blade edge
When the knife blade is infected, format and tempered, the grinding of the blade's grinding phases, which determines the geometry of the blade. Kitchen knives are ground thinner than hunting knives, which need stronger primary eggs. The grinding is performed by hand and is followed by final polish with stones, sandpaper and polishes. The blade is then sharpened by hand in Japanese bench stones for best sharpness.
