Takamura VG-10 Migaki Santoku 170mm
There are famous blacksmiths, and then there's Terukazu Takamura. Forging out of Echizen, Takamura Hamono is known for creating masterpieces in every sense of the word, without skimping on any detail. Any Takamura knife, at any price point, is a stunning performer. Don’t just take our word for it—René Redzepi of the 3-star Michelin restaurant Noma uses them. If René isn’t available, you might check with Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana, another devoted fan of Takamura’s craftsmanship.
VG-10 Migaki Santoku: A Masterpiece in Value and Performance
VG-10 steel was born in Echizen, and it’s only fitting that Takamura Hamono incorporates this legendary material into their knives. The Takamura VG-10 Migaki Santoku offers a compelling package: a razor-thin grind, exceptional fit and finish, stainless steel construction, and a beautiful brushed steel migaki finish. It’s an affordable, high-performance knife that punches well above its weight class.
The santoku, translating to "knife of three virtues [slice, dice, chop]," is one of the most versatile knife styles available. It excels in tight kitchen spaces and is perfect for cooks who prefer precision over heft. Whether you’re a home chef or a professional, the Takamura Santoku is an outstanding multi-purpose blade that fits seamlessly into any kitchen.
