Muneishi Kuroichi Damascus Santoku, 160mm

This Japanese Santoku knife has a core of Japanese Aogami #2 carbon steel with 2 softer non-rust-resistant steel types as a protective layer (suminagashi) on the outside (damascus). This double-sided sharpened knife has a black (Kurochi) protective layer. Completely hand-forged by master blacksmith Kosuke Muneishi-san, this knife is one of a kind. The blade is very thin and manually sharpened and has no thickenings, which makes sharpening very easy.

Muneishi-hamono was founded in 1955, Mr. Hirotaka Muneishi, the second-generation blacksmith, manufactures forest cutting knives such as axes and machetes, and Mr. Kosuke Muneishi, the third-generation blacksmith, forges kitchen knives. Kosuke Muneishi carries out all the steps himself: tempering, forging, hammering and chamfering knives.
