Takamura VG-10 Heiya Santoku (universal knife), 170 mm -Special-
SKU: Special EditionTakamura VG-10 Santoku
Blade made of stainless Japanese VG-10 steel with two layers of stainless steel on the exterior (Sanmai forged). This knife is completely hand-forged in Takamura's forge. Takamura is one of the most renowned knife makers, and several top chefs, such as John Emerson, Gordon Ramsay, Ren'e Redzepi, Mark Best, David Chang, Narisawa, and Hiromi Yamada, use Takamura knives.
These are the so called: "Special edition" versions where one side of the blade is left empty so you can place your own logo or name. this is often requested by chefs or resellers.
The Nakago (the part of the blade that sits in the handle) doesn't extend all the way to the underside of the handle, eliminating a noticeable transition and resulting in a very smooth handle finish.
A Santoku literally means "three virtues" and is therefore suitable for meat, fish, and vegetables. A true all-rounder for the kitchen.
