This Japanese Santoku knife is part of the Hitohira Harima series, renowned for its excellent balance between tradition and performance. Hand-forged from Aogami #2 (Blue Paper Steel) covered with stainless steel, it features a san-mai construction that combines a very hard core for cutting with stainless steel sides for easy maintenance. The migaki (satin polished) finish highlights the subtle san-mai line and the care taken in the grinding.

With its 165 mm blade, this Santoku offers great versatility for everyday cooking: slicing, mincing, or chopping vegetables, fish, and meat. The slightly curved profile allows for a smooth rocking motion, while the lowered tip improves control for precise cuts.

The octagonal walnut and pakkawood handle ensures a stable and comfortable grip, suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Its understated design and the softness of the wood contrast elegantly with the shine of the blade.

Aogami #2 steel offers exceptional edge retention and a clean cutting feel. Like all carbon steel, it will develop a patina over time, a normal phenomenon that protects the blade. It is recommended to wipe the knife after each use and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
