Miki M132 VG-1 Santoku 170 mm,

This Japanese Santoku knife has a core of Japanese VG-1 carbon steel (stainless). This double-sided sharpened knife has a beautiful hammer-forging pattern (Tsuchime). This knife is completely hand-forged by the mastersmith of Miki Hamono and is unique in its kind. The hammer-and-drop pattern on the blade ensures that products stick less quickly during cutting. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings which makes sharpening very easy. A Santoku knife is the typical Japanese universal knife, because of its shape this knife is extremely suitable for cutting meat and fish, but also for embossing vegetables and herbs.

  • Weight: 128 grams
  • Blade thickness: 1.8 mm
