What Is a Santoku Knife?

A Santoku is a Japanese knife with fluted indentations on the side of the blade that keep ingredients from getting stuck to the blade.

How Do You Care for Our Santoku Knife?

Like all of our kitchen knives, the Santoku is not dishwasher safe and should be washed by hand. Maintain a sharp edge by honing regularly and sharpening with a whetstone or other knife sharpener a few times a year.

How Is a Santoku Knife Different From a Chef Knife?

While both are made from high carbon steel, Chef Knives are 8-inch western-style curved blades and the 7-inch Santoku Knife is slightly smaller Japanese knife with a straight blade like a cleaver or Nakiri Knife.

Ovangkol Wood Handle

Crafted in the Knife capital of the world—Thiers, France—the Limited-Edition Santoku is forged by a 5th generation bladesmith and hardened with nitrogen. Each blade boasts a handle made from Ovangkol wood—a durable wood usually used to craft musical instruments—and engraved with its number in the series.

Instead of being cheaply welded together, all of our Knives are full tang and fully forged, meaning they are crafted from a single rod of stainless steel that extends from tip to handle—resulting in sharper, perfectly balanced blades.

The Santoku features a gently curved blade optimized for rocking, a pointed tip for piercing, and 28 individual flutes that keep ingredients from sticking to your blade. Shop the beautiful Limited-Edition blade before it’s gone for good.

“When you grab those knives and you go to slice or chop, the handle should feel good in your hand. The Made In knives definitely meet that requirement and they also keep their edge, and that’s really really important”

Chef of Mozza, Co-Owner of Mozza Restaurant GroupLos Angeles, CA

“I would say that a good chef knife is one of the most critical tools you can have in the kitchen. Obviously, almost every ingredient you come in contact with you’re going to cut or manipulate in some way.”

“I love Made In. With the product, you can tell that there's extreme craftsmanship.”
