The Santoku, which translates into English as either “three-purpose" or “three virtues”, gained this name because it is well suited to cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. Santoku knives are often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife for home cooks, and it is more commonly found in Japanese households than Gyuto knives.
The knife bears visible impressions of the hand-forging process (round hammer dents on the blade), which gives it a beautiful finish and also prevents food from sticking to the blade.
HAP40 is a powder metallurgy High Speed Tool Steel from Hitachi Metals Ltd. It’s rich chemical composition and fine microstructure allows the production of knives that posses an outstanding balance of hardness, toughness and edge retention.
In terms of cutting performance, edge retention, some knife experts believe that HAP-40 is probably the best Japanese cutlery steel on the market.

"Musashi" is a high-grade chef knife brand from south of Japan that has a history of blacksmithing for 250 years. Every single process is done by hand.
With the traditional forging process, the molecules of the iron material are finely tuned, leading to the completion of a "living kitchen knife" that breathes.
The process of heating and forging each material for mold making is repeated three or four times to quickly shape the blade and create durability before the carbon is released from the steel causing it to lose its original strength.
The blade is the most important factor in achieving the best possible sharpness. It is polished in our own blade factory to produce uncompromising sharpness.
Using only the best steels for our blades, ranging from VG-10, Silver steel, White steel, Blue steel to Aogami Super.
The highest priority is placed on sturdiness, a sense of luxury, and a shape that is easy to grip and does not cause fatigue even after long hours of use.
