The HIKARI Santoku brings the Japanese all-purpose tradition into your kitchen.
Santoku means "three virtues"—meat, fish, and vegetables. With its straight edge, high blade, and 67 layers of Damascus steel, it glides precisely through any type of cutting material. The amber-colored sycamore maple handle ensures balance.
Each knife is unique – with individual damask grain and a natural wood handle, which can be engraved upon request to create a truly personal work of art.
MISAKI – where quality meets art.
Suitable for:
blade
67 layers of Damascus steel with a cutting-edge core of 10Cr15CoMoV and 66 layers of corrosion-resistant 316/316L stainless steel.
The blade is vacuum-heat treated – one of the most modern hardening technologies in the world – for a particularly uniform structure, smooth surface and outstanding edge retention.
The Japanese V-grind with 15° per side ensures uncompromising sharpness. Exception: The bread knife features a single-sided 30° serrated edge.
Half bolster and full tang ensure balanced weight distribution, high stability and maximum durability even with intensive use.
Handle
The ergonomically shaped handle is made of exquisite, light-grained sycamore maple
