Harukaze Mune Blue #2 Damascus Santoku 165mm. We really like Blue #2 Carbon Steel for use in knife blades. It is a top shelf steel developed by the Hitachi Metals Company. It is easy to sharpen and takes a wicked edge.
This is a classic
santoku design. It is a multi-purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means three virtues or to solve three problems. The virtues or problems are said to be slicing, dicing, and mincing. It is a tall blade that offers increased finger-to-board clearance, while the shorter length makes it ideal for handling a wide variety of produce and proteins.
This fine santoku is made in Tosa especially for our CKTG customers. Anyone seeking a knife made from the best steel, with a great grind and an affordable price, can stop their search now!
