Yamamoto Hocho, Santoku (All-purpose Knife)

Description

Hand-forged Japanese kitchen knives made by master knifesmith Masashi Yamamoto. The blade's high-contrast Suminagashi pattern is created by a total of 57 folded layers of steel. The core cutting layer of Hitachi SLD steel* guarantees excellent sharpness and edge life due to its high carbon content; rustproof side layers facilitate care. The perfect look of the Japanese knife is completed by its handle made of enju wood (wood of the Japanese pagoda tree), which is finished off with a buffalo horn ferrule. Blade with hand-engraved signature. Double bevel, hardness 63 HRC. Rust-resistant cutting core layer, rustproof side layers.

* Steel analysis: C = 1.5 / Si = 0.25 / Mn = 0.4 / Cr = 12 / Mo = 1 / V = 0.35 (in %)
