【2nd ed.】INOX Wa-Santoku Knife with Thinned Wood and Octagonal Handle
TAKAHASHIKUSU Co., Ltd
Wa-Santoku Knives: Experience the sharpness used by professional chefs who value flavor and umami, right at home.
The ‘INOX Wa-Santoku Knife with Thinned Wood and Octagonal Handle’ was created by a Sakai knife forging manufacturer with the hope of making traditional knives, cherished by professional chefs, more accessible to a wider audience.
While traditional Japanese knives are often made of steel and are single bladed, the Wa-Santoku uses stainless steel, making it rust-resistant and easier to maintain than steel knives.
Steel is generally considered easier to sharpen, but the craftsmen’s expert heat treatment and sharpening techniques have resulted in a knife that is both easy to sharpen and exceptionally sharp.
The handle is made from ‘kanbatsu-zai’, wood produced through the thinning process, promoting sustainability. Crafted from thinned wood of Japanese pagoda and black walnut trees, it has a warm, natural texture. Takahashikusu is committed to environmental management, and they also used thinned wood for the packaging boxes.
‘Santoku’ refers to three purposes: meat, fish, and vegetables. This versatile knife combines the best features of a professional tool, making it an essential item in your kitchen.
