This Hitohira Hiragana WS Santoku 185 mm Japanese knife combines elegance and performance in a versatile format ideal for everyday cooking. Part of the Hiragana series, it features a stainless steel blade, renowned for its fine grain and ability to achieve an extremely sharp edge.
The blade has a migaki (polished) finish with hand-engraved kanji, highlighting the purity of the craftsmanship. Its slightly curved Santoku profile allows for great versatility: chopping, mincing, and slicing meat, fish, or vegetables with ease.
The octagonal black pakkawood handle with white ring provides a refined balance and a comfortable grip, suitable for right handed users. The transition between the bolster and the blade is clean, offering precise control during detailed cutting.
When cutting, the Hitohira Hiragana WS offers a clean and direct feel, characteristic of Japanese steels. Its edge is easy to sharpen on a stone and offers good resilience.
