What makes the Kagekiyo Chromax Santoku special? Its razor-keen Chromax core (≈64 HRC) gives you carbon-steel sharpness with stainless-like peace-of-mind, while a slim 2.6 mm spine and 43 mm heel height let this 180 mm blade glide through carrots, herbs, and protein with near-frictionless ease. Hand-ground in Sakai and paired with a lightweight octagonal walnut handle, it balances agility, edge retention, and everyday durability—ideal for pros and passionate home cooks alike.
Highlights
- Hybrid steel: Chromax semi-stainless core clad in stainless for low-maintenance brilliance.
- Laser-thin grind: ~2.6 mm spine tapers to a whisper-thin edge for effortless cuts.
- Rockwell 64 ±1: Holds a screaming-sharp edge far longer than typical Western knives.
- Comfort grip: Octagonal walnut handle with pakka wood ferrule—secure when wet, ambidextrous feel.
- Sakai craft: Forged and finished by the Baba Hamono team under the Kagekiyo banner.

Why Chromax?
Chromax blends the edge-holding of carbon steel with enough chromium to fend off most rust. You get that addictive, toothy bite of high-carbon without baby-sitting your knife between every chop.
Ideal For
- One-knife kitchens looking for a do-everything blade
- Veggie prep, poultry breakdown, and precision push-cuts
- Chefs who love carbon performance but demand lower upkeep
Care & Maintenance
- Hand-wash, wipe dry; avoid dishwashers.
- Strop on leather for daily upkeep; whetstone at 1-2 k grit when dull.
- Store edge-safe—saya, magnet, or blade guard recommended.
