SKU: 51031Nikken Tsubazo Santoku
These knives, made in Japan by Nikken Cutlery in Gifu, offer excellent value for money. Founded in November 1971, Nikken has built a strong reputation for practical everyday products that deliver reliable sharpness and clean cutting performance. The blade of this knife is made of semi-rustproof Japanese molybdenum-vanadium steel and features a durable Hinoki wood handle and a polypropylene bolster. These knives are produced for the Japanese market and are now available in Europe for the first time.
A Santoku is a versatile Japanese chef's knife that excels in three tasks: slicing, chopping, and mincing.
The blade is relatively short and wide, making it maneuverable and giving you excellent control on the cutting board.
The straight to slightly curved edge makes it easy to slice vegetables cleanly and quickly rock herbs. The wide blade shape also makes it easy to scoop and transfer ingredients to a pan or bowl.
A Santoku is ideal for everyday kitchen use, from vegetables and meat to fish.
With proper maintenance—cleaning, drying immediately, and occasional sharpening—the knife will remain sharp and comfortable for a long time.
