Yoshimi Kato VG10 Etched Black Damascus Santoku 175 mm with K&S Teak wood 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 Yoshimi Kato with a damascus finish, it pairs hard, keen Japanese steel with the thin grind and balance that let the blade glide through food with less resistance. The stainless steel keeps it easy to look after from day to day.

Care and everyday use
It is at its best for vegetables, herbs and boneless proteins. The stainless steel keeps maintenance low: hand wash and dry the blade after use, keep it off bone and frozen food, and touch up the edge on a whetstone when it starts to slow. There is no need to oil the blade, which makes it a forgiving choice for everyday cooking.

Lovely knife and a joy to use. A little more blade care than my stainless knives but worth it.

Best santoku I have owned. Effortless push cuts and the food just falls off the blade.
