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.
  • Handle: not stated by the store.
  • Shirogami #2 (White #2) is a carbon steel that rusts and stains if it is left wet, so it is wiped dry after every use.

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. Shirogami #2 (White #2) is carbon steel: very sharp and easy to sharpen, but wipe it dry while you cook or it will rust.
