What to know before you buy

About this knife

  • Santoku knives of this 170mm 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.
  • SLD is semi-stainless: it resists rust better than carbon steel but is not stain-proof.
  • It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.

Limits to know

  • Like any hard Japanese blade, keep it off bones, frozen food and glass or stone boards.

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

An SLD core in soft stainless cladding, with a charcoaled chestnut handle. Tough, practical and a great value wa-handle starter.
