Hand-forged in Japan by Hokiyama, the Shusaku 2.0 Santoku is made from Ginsan #3 (Silver 3) stainless steel — a high-performance steel known for its exceptional edge retention, rust resistance, and ease of sharpening.
This 165mm Santoku features a stunning Damascus cladding with a subtle mirror polish that highlights the craftsmanship and fine grain structure of the blade. Unlike flashier finishes, this one reflects just enough light to draw attention without being over the top — a clean, elegant look that stands out in the kitchen.
Heat-treated to 61 HRC, the blade strikes a perfect balance between hardness and resilience. It’s thin behind the edge for effortless slicing and versatile enough to tackle everything from meats and fish to fruits and vegetables.
Santoku means “three virtues,” referring to its ability to handle meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. Its shorter length and gently curved edge make it especially nimble and comfortable for everyday use — a favorite for home cooks and pros alike.
In terms of value, the Shusaku series punches well above its weight. Beautiful, functional, and built to perform — this one won't disappoint.
