Harukaze G3 Santoku 165mm
"Harukaze" translates to “windy spring” in Japanese—a fitting name for a knife that’s light, nimble, and a joy to use. Crafted exclusively for CKTG in Tosa, Japan, this Harukaze knife offers exceptional value, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern materials.
At its core is G3 stainless steel (also known as Ginsan), heat-treated to an HRC of 62 for excellent edge retention and durability. The core is clad in polished stainless steel using the san-mai technique, offering both beauty and added corrosion resistance. A hand-engraved kanji adorns both sides of the blade, adding a personal touch of artistry.
The knife is paired with an elegant octagonal oak handle that’s lightweight, durable, and comfortable in hand. With a 50/50 edge grind and well-balanced design, it’s a perfect choice for both professional chefs and home cooks seeking a reliable, affordable Japanese blade.Brand: Harukaze
