Shikoku 7" Damascus Steel Kengata Santoku 三徳包丁
The Shikoku 7" Damascus Steel Kengata Santoku unites striking Japanese design with exceptional modern performance, crafted for chefs and home cooks who demand both beauty and precision.
67-Layer AUS10 Damascus Steel
At its core is premium AUS10 steel, clad in 67 layers of Damascus for superb hardness, edge retention and unique visual character. The intricate wave pattern is revealed in every layer, creating a blade that is as captivating as it is razor-sharp. Honed to a precise 8–12° cutting angle, it delivers effortless, scalpel-like precision through vegetables, meats and fish.
Rosewood Handle
The handle is shaped from richly grained rosewood, offering natural warmth and enduring strength. Its elegant contours and perfect balance provide a secure, comfortable grip, ensuring confident control during both delicate slicing and heavy chopping.
Kengata Blade Profile
The distinct Kengata (sword-tip) profile combines the versatility of a Santoku with the pointed precision of a Gyuto. This hybrid design makes it ideal for fine slicing, controlled rocking cuts and intricate knife work.
Culinary Craftsmanship and Timeless Beauty
The Shikoku 7" Kengata Santoku is more than a kitchen tool. It is a statement of refined craftsmanship that transforms everyday cooking into an art form while bringing professional-level performance to your kitchen.
