A Japanese-style santoku with a VG-10 core and 67-layer Damascus cladding for fine slicing.
This 7-inch santoku pairs a VG-10 stainless steel core hardened to 61 HRC with 66 layers of alternating steel cladding, producing the rippled Damascus pattern along the blade face. The thin, flat profile and sheep's-foot tip excel at precise slicing, dicing, and mincing of vegetables and fish, while the octagonal pakkawood handle gives a stable, tapered grip. A shallow granton edge along the blade helps release sticky foods like cucumber and sweet potato.
