The Japanese multi purpose knife. Ideal for a home cook. Santoku means "three virtues" therefore it can be used on meats, fish and vegetables.
This gorgeous Aogami Kurouchi Damascus blade is constructed with 30 layers surrounding the cutting core. This knife comes with a classic walnut and oak handle.
Important information; Carbon steel knives will oxidise and discolour. This is not a fault, it is a nature of the material. They must be dried after use and traditionally they are treated after use with camellia oil which inhibits the oxidation process. If the fact that carbon steel requires a little bit more maintenance is of concern then a laminated or folded steel knife should be considered. You can purchase rust erasers to clean the blades.
