Made by Takamura Hamono in Echizen, Japan, this 170mm santoku from the Migaki series offers a compact, versatile option for everyday preparation. Its broad blade and relatively flat cutting-edge suit controlled chopping and push cuts, whether dicing onions, slicing cucumber or finely cutting herbs. The thin grind helps the blade pass through ingredients with little resistance, while the SG2 powdered steel core provides lasting sharpness and corrosion resistance. Stainless cladding and a polished migaki finish create a clean, refined appearance. A Western red pakkawood handle adds rich colour and a familiar grip to this practical knife for vegetables, fish and boneless meat.
