Assembled, sharpened, and polished right here at Kakushin, this Sakon Ginga Santoku 165mm by Hokiyama is ready to perform the moment it leaves our shop.
Made in Japan, the blade features Ginsan #3 (Silver 3) stainless steel, prized for its fine grain structure, clean edge feel, and impressive ease of maintenance. It offers the crisp performance of carbon steel with the convenience of stainless. The core is clad in stainless steel and finished in a subtle Nashiji (“pear skin”) texture, giving it character without being flashy.
Hardened to approximately 61 HRC, it strikes an ideal balance between edge retention and durability. Thin behind the edge and well-balanced, this Santoku glides through vegetables, proteins, and herbs with precision and control. At 165mm, it’s the perfect everyday size — compact enough for smaller boards, long enough to handle real prep work.
What makes this piece stand out is the custom epoxy handle in deep purple with subtle white and black accents. Each handle has its own unique flow and pattern, adding personality while maintaining a comfortable, secure grip. Modern look, practical feel.
