Takamura VG-10 Migaki Santoku 170mm
There are famous blacksmiths, and then there’s Terukazu Takamura. Forging in Echizen, Japan, Takamura Hamono is celebrated worldwide for creating kitchen knives that combine unmatched performance with flawless craftsmanship. Every Takamura knife—regardless of price point—delivers precision and beauty. It’s no surprise that culinary icons like René Redzepi of the 3-Michelin-star restaurant Noma and Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana trust Takamura in their kitchens.
VG-10 Migaki Santoku: Affordable Mastery
Born in Echizen, VG-10 stainless steel is a legendary choice for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The Takamura VG-10 Migaki Santoku showcases a razor-thin grind, exceptional fit and finish, and a shimmering migaki brushed finish that reflects its premium quality. It’s an approachable yet professional-level knife that punches far above its price class.
Meaning “three virtues” in Japanese, the santoku excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping. With its shorter blade and nimble handling, it’s perfect for cooks who value precision over heft—ideal in tight prep spaces or for those who prefer an all-purpose knife that feels effortless in hand.
