The Santoku (三徳) is a versatile multi-use Japanese knife, famous for the translation of its name, ‘three virtues’. The three virtues are said to refer to the Santoku’s versatility in use for chopping, slicing and dicing, or the primary range of ingredients that it can be used for: fish, meat and vegetables.

About the Steel - Ginsan

Developed by Hitachi Metals in Japan, the Ginsan (Silver #3) is a carbon steel and what makes it special is that it is stainless at the same time. Ginsan is easy to sharpen and has a hardness similar to the Shirogami steels, making it ideal for users who want an easy to maintain steel.

About the Finish - Migaki

Migaki (磨き) means polished but not necessarily as finely polished like a mirror finish. The finish gives knives a minimalist and elegant look though the degree of polishing varies from one blacksmith to the next.
