Masutani Kokuryu VG10 Tsuchime Damascus 165mm Santoku. Our third addition to the new Masutani knife line is this excellent santoku. Masutani is a small blacksmith shop located in Echizen in the Fukui Prefecture and offer unmatched value. It's a perfect knife for home cooks or pro chefs seeking a blade that is easy to use and maintain.
The knife featured here is made from VG10 stainless steel. VG-10 steel is made specifically for kitchen knife production. It's durability and ease of sharpening is perfect for kitchen knives. The cladding receives a very attractive hammered finish with damascus toward the bottom of the blade. Together with the lovely yo-style Western handle made from a single piece of rosewood, creates a very attractive package.
The shorter length of this santoku is perfectly suited to chefs working with smaller ingredients or in restricted spaces. It is also a good length for novice knife users to hone their cutting skills. The reduced length also makes for a very rigid blade that feels quick and precise in use.Blacksmith: Masutani
