The SANTOKU Knife
The name "Santoku" in Japanese means "three virtues," representing its three main functions : slicing, mincing and chiseling. Unlike the chef's knife (Gyuto), the Santoku is distinguished by its shape and shorter blade. Ideal for fruits, vegetables, meat (without bones), fish (without fish bones), and herbs. It is highly valued for its maneuverability, both in Japan and internationally.
HAZAKI Blade
Forged in Seki, Japan
Length : 180mm
Material : VG10 Damascus
Rockwell : 61
KONKETSU Handle
Handcrafted in Quebec
Material : Pippy oak or black stained white oak*
*White oak is characterized by its distinctive grain, water resistance as well as his density and exceptional durability.
Pippy oak is characterized by dormant buds beneath the bark. In case of damage, these buds help the tree regenerate; otherwise, they become part of the wood, giving that peppered grain and contributing to its rarity.
The SUJIHIKI Knife
The term "SUJIHIKI" literally means "flesh slicer", which accurately reflects its function. The length of its blade allows for long, smooth cuts, while its width minimizes food adhesion. Primarily used for slicing thin cuts of meat and removing fish fillets, it also excels at delicately slicing charcuterie as well as cutting fruits and vegetables.
