Discover the blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern functionality with the Tokushu Knife Tsuchime SLD 165mm Santoku. This versatile knife, crafted with SLD semi-stainless steel, provides excellent edge retention akin to carbon steel but with much easier maintenance. Ideal for professional and home cooks alike, it’s built to handle tougher ingredients like potatoes and squash effortlessly.
SLD Semi-Stainless Steel Blade
Originally developed by Hitachi for durability, SLD steel is perfect for everyday kitchen use. The semi-stainless cladding minimizes maintenance—just wipe it dry before storage. For optimal sharpness, consider our professional sharpening service to ensure your Santoku is ready for action right out of the box.
Sanjo Walnut Wa Handle
Each knife is fitted with a high-quality octagonal Walnut Wa handle, handcrafted by skilled artisans in Sanjo, Japan. Adorned with our signature Tokushu Knife Kanji, this handle is not only comfortable to hold but also aesthetically refined, combining dark walnut with a light wood stripe for a striking appearance.
