Made by Yasuda Hamono in Seki, Japan, this 180mm santoku belongs to the maker’s Saku Saku series, bringing together everyday versatility and the beauty of hammered Damascus. Its compact, broad blade is well suited to chopping vegetables, slicing boneless meat and preparing fish, making it a useful companion for daily cooking. The VG-10 core combines lasting sharpness with easy everyday care, while flowing Damascus patterns beneath the hammered tsuchime finish give the blade texture and character. An imitation mahogany handle adds a warm woodgrain appearance, completing an inviting all-rounder for everything from quick lunches to more elaborate meals.
