Overview
We are thrilled to introduce the Tokushu Knife Washiji SLD Santoku 165 mm, curated by the Tokushu Knife team. This agile, do-it-all blade marries Hitachi’s SLD semi-stainless tool steel—which we love for its blend of razor-sharpness, edge retention, durability, and easy sharpening—with stainless Washiji cladding whose subtle texture mimics traditional Shoji paper. Just check the choil shot: the lean, laser-like grind punches well above its price point. Finished with a 128 mm carbon-fiber octagonal handle, the knife feels feather-light (~172 g) yet perfectly balanced for everyday kitchen work.
Common Questions
Q: Is this Santoku good for varied kitchen tasks?
A: Absolutely. The 165 mm blade length, gentle belly, and generous height make it a versatile slicer, dicer, and mincer—ideal for vegetables, meats, and herbs.
Q: How should I care for the SLD steel?
A: SLD is semi-stainless, so wipe it dry right after use. A quick strop and occasional honing keep the edge screaming-sharp while a natural patina develops over time.
Q: What makes this different from wood-handled Santokus?
A: Our carbon-fiber handle sheds weight, resists water, and delivers modern durability—perfect for busy home or pro kitchens.
