The Santoku Shigekatsu 165 mm Japanese knife, made in Japan, combines cutting performance with traditional aesthetics. Its blade features an SLD steel core, an alloy rich in carbon, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, surrounded by stainless steel for excellent wear resistance and long-lasting edge retention. Its Washiji finish, inspired by the texture of Japanese paper, gives it a distinctive artisanal appearance.

Its octagonal handle in Japanese white oak, naturally dried and then coated in a deep indigo blue Urushi lacquer, adds an elegant and original touch. Weighing 136 g, this versatile Santoku is suitable for the daily cutting of vegetables, meats, and fish.
