What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Santoku knives of this 165mm length are a mid size that suits smaller boards and kitchens.
  • It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
  • Aogami #1 (Blue #1) 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 #1 (Blue #1) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust. The Western handle has the familiar heft and grip of a European chef's knife.
