Yoshihiro VG-10 46 Layers Hammered Damascus Santoku Japanese Multipurpose Chef Knife (Octagonal Rosewood Handle) (7" (180mm))

The Yoshihiro VG-10 Hammered Damascus Santoku Knife is a premium Japanese all-purpose knife handcrafted in Japan using 46 layers of Damascus steel with a VG-10 stainless steel core. Built for everyday performance, it offers exceptional sharpness, durability, and stain resistance. The Santoku, meaning “three virtues,” is designed to handle meat, fish, and vegetables with ease. Its shorter blade, thin profile, and rounded tip make it especially well-suited for home cooks, offering excellent control for slicing, dicing, and chopping. The hammered Damascus finish reduces friction and prevents food from sticking, creating a smoother and more efficient cutting experience. Paired with a traditional octagonal wooden handle, the knife provides a balanced, ergonomic grip for comfort during extended use. Each knife is handcrafted by skilled artisans. With proper care, including hand washing and sharpening with water stones, this knife will maintain its performance for years to come.
