Powerful and Petite - Kessaku's Mini Santoku Knife is a beautiful, Asian-inspired knife designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping fruit, proteins, and vegetables. The knife’s curved Kamagata (sickle-shaped) tip, slight belly curve, and razor-sharp blade make this Santoku extremely easy to use in a swift rocking motion. It is especially well suited to down-and-forward cutting motions (push cuts), and chefs swear by and adore their Kessaku for its amazing ease of use, and top-tier performance.
Constructed to last forever. Our Samurai Series Santoku Knife will be your culinary companion for life. Since the 16th century, the defining characteristics of professional knives are toughness, sharpness, edge-life, edge-quality, precision, and ease of use. Kessaku knives are hand-crafted to reflect these qualities, alongside cutting-edge, nitrogen-cooled, forging techniques.
Setting New Standards in Knife Performance: The Blade. Like a surgeon’s scalpel and relentlessly sharp, this blade is individually hand-crafted by our virtuoso technicians and made from our own specially formulated High Carbon 7CR17MOV Stainless Steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and non-stick properties. Its Precision Forged, Razor-Sharp blade is hand-sharpened and honed by our craftsmen to 16° for clean, precise, cuts, amazing edge-retention, and it has a Rockwell Hardness of 58 for maximum strength, flexibility, and blade edge durability.
Wondrous Comfort. Coming to Grips—with an amazing first impression!—When you grasp the handle of this knife for the first time it will feel as if you’ve always held it — like it was made for you specifically. Its Mirror-Polished Smooth Pakkawood Handle offers amazingly superior comfort while its seamless build ensures that no dirt or debris can ever infiltrate its pristine body. Its pakkawood handle is nearly impervious to heat, cold, and moisture, and has Full Tang (which means the blade extends all the way to the end of the handle) strength for a lifetime of safe and precise use.
