This Kohetsu santoku was created to make life easier for busy cooks. Made in Japan exclusively for Chefknivestogo, it was designed to be durable, affordable, and excellent at its job. It is made of Hitachi white #2 steel. Kohetsu loosely translates to "be happy" in Japanese, and we know this knife will live up to its name. It now comes with a walnut and pakkawood octagonal handle.

I think this is a really good knife for the money. I got it as a gift, there were no defects. I have heard people say Kohetsu has a factory knife feel, but at this price point that is a good thing. The grinds are even, the handle is straight and the heat treat seems good. What more can you ask for.
