Takeshi Saji SRS13 Santoku 180mm Western Amboyna Handle, all-purpose Japanese knife
This santoku is an all-purpose knife for straight push cuts on vegetables, herbs and boneless proteins. The blade is a practical everyday length. Forged by Takeshi Saji SRS13, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The forged carbon steel takes a keen edge and gains character with use.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for vegetables, herbs and boneless proteins. This is a carbon-steel blade, which takes an exceptionally keen edge but reacts with food and water. Hand wash and dry it immediately after use, wipe on a light coat of oil before storage, and expect a natural patina to form over time. Keep it off bone and frozen food, and sharpen on a whetstone to bring the edge back.
