Yoshimi Kato's VG-10 knives exhibit refined craftsmanship at an affordable price. The knives feature a VG-10 stainless steel core with soft stainless steel damascus cladding for durability and great looks. This santoku knife is a versatile option for slicing and dicing with a tall blade and symmetrical 50/50 grind. The rosewood handle
complements the attractive blade. The Kato VG-10 Suminagashi santoku 180mm offers an excellent blend of aesthetics and performance. We highly recommend this knife.
