What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Santoku knives of this 175mm length are a mid size that suits smaller boards and kitchens.
  • It has a Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
  • Aogami #2 (Blue #2) is a carbon steel that rusts and stains if it is left wet, so it is wiped dry after every use.
  • It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.

Limits to know

  • Carbon steel develops a patina and can rust; it is not for a knife that sits wet in the sink.

Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.

Good to know for beginners

A santoku is a compact all-rounder with a flatter edge, made for push-cutting vegetables, meat and fish. Aogami #2 (Blue #2) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust. The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
