Vintage Japanese Santoku Knife 160mm Made in Japan 🇯🇵 739

 Santoku knife

The Santoku bōchō (Japanese: 三徳包丁; "three virtues" or "three uses") or Bunka bōchō (文化包丁) is a general-purpose kitchen knife originating in Japan. Its blade is typically between 13 and 20 cm (5 and 8 in) long, and has a flat edge and a sheepsfoot  blade that curves down an angle approaching 60 degrees at the point. The term Santoku may refer to the wide variety of ingredients that the knife can handle: meat, fish and vegetables, or to the tasks it can perform: slicing, chopping and dicing, either interpretation indicating a multi-use, general-purpose kitchen knife. The Santoku's blade and handle are designed to work in harmony by matching the blade's width and weight to the weight of the tang  and the handle.

The blade is fully forged from the high quality high carbon steel. This steel gives superior edge retention, strength, and wear resistance. The handles are made from Food safety plastic  , a super tough, rigid and wear resistant product.
