The santoku 170 mm covers the three tasks its name refers to: vegetables, meat, and fish. Its tall blade profile provides a generous working surface and good knuckle clearance, while the rounded tip naturally favors push cutting over rocking. At 170 mm, it stays compact and easy to handle for everyday use without giving up useful cutting length.
The nashiji finish gives the blade a lightly textured, granular surface reminiscent of Asian pear skin. This fine grain sits between a mirror polish and raw forge texture, producing a matte, understated look that contrasts with the polished edge. The imitation handle completes the knife with a clean, symmetrical profile.
This santoku works well as a primary knife or as a focused all-purpose blade alongside a longer knife. The nashiji finish gives the blade a distinct visual identity without ornamentation. The 170 mm format falls within the standard santoku range, suited to a wide variety of cutting tasks.
Care
Rinse and dry after each use. Never put in the dishwasher.
