The Tetsuhiro Knife Company comes from the Kiryu forge, a respected name in Japanese bladesmithing since 1927, based in Sanjo City, Niigata—an area with deep blacksmithing roots. Their Gold Damascus series is a perfect blend of beauty, performance, and affordability. Built with a solid half-tang construction, the blade features a VG-1 (Gold Steel) core wrapped in Damascus cladding, striking a balance between long-lasting sharpness and rust resistance. Thanks to its thinner blade geometry, this series delivers impressive cutting performance without breaking the bank.
Santoku knives are known as one of the most versatile kitchen knives for everyday cooking. Traditionally shorter and taller than a Gyuto, Santoku blades usually range from 160mm to 180mm and are designed to feel balanced, compact, and easy to control.
The name Santoku means “three virtues,” referring to its excellence with meat, fish, and vegetables. The profile features a flatter edge toward the heel for clean chopping, a gentle belly for light rocking, and a rounded tip that offers stability and safety for precision work.
Because of their comfortable length, tall blade height, and neutral balance, Santoku knives are an excellent choice for home cooks and professionals who want a single knife that feels intuitive, efficient, and effortless for daily use.
