Santoku Kitchen Knife, Hand Forged Japanese Chef Knife (G10 Handle, Sandalwood Box)

MITSUMOTO SAKARI, a brand focused solely on crafting exceptional chef's knives, combines the ancient tradition of Japanese hand forging with modern advanced technology. Located in Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan, MITSUMOTO SAKARI CO., LTD. is an independent design and development center for Japanese chef knives.

Each exquisite kitchen knife is meticulously handcrafted by skilled knifemakers, with a minimum of 90 days required to hand forge a single professional chef's knife to completion. By retaining traditional hand-forging techniques and incorporating thoroughly modern, high-quality materials and state-of-the-art technology, MITSUMOTO SAKARI provides professional chefs and home cooks with exceptional quality kitchen knives.

The MITSUMOTO SAKARI 7-inch Santoku Knife is a prime example of their commitment to excellence. Featuring a blade of extremely high hardness (60±2 HRC), this professional Japanese Santoku knife is crafted using traditional hand-forging methods combined with advanced technology to form a hardened VG-10 Damascus steel core, ensuring a high-quality chef's knife. The 1.8mm sharp blade enables effortless cutting, making it suitable for most daily kitchen tasks, such as slicing, cutting vegetables, fruits, meats, and sushi (excluding bones).

The handle of the MITSUMOTO SAKARI kitchen knife is made of two exceptional materials, G10 and Micarta. These materials are soaked in resin, compressed, and pressure-baked to produce a remarkably hard and durable handle, making it suitable for professional kitchen and outdoor use.

The precise forging process results in a finer grain of steel, making the blade stronger and harder. The combination of traditional Japanese forging techniques and high-quality steel provides chefs with professional-grade knives.

MITSUMOTO SAKARI's dedication to quality extends to the exquisite packaging of their products. Each chef's knife is presented in a beautiful, handcrafted sandalwood gift box, creating a unique and memorable experience for the recipient.

In addition to the 7-inch Santoku Knife, MITSUMOTO SAKARI offers a range of other professional Japanese chef's knives, including Damascus Gyuto, Damascus Paring, Damascus Kiritsuke, and more. These knives are designed to meet the demands of both professional chefs and home cooks, with each one carefully crafted to the highest standards.

To ensure the longevity and performance of these exceptional knives, MITSUMOTO SAKARI provides detailed care and maintenance instructions. Proper washing, drying, and storage, as well as the use of a professional sharpening stone, are recommended to extend the life of these precious kitchen tools.

MITSUMOTO SAKARI's commitment to preserving the spirit of Japanese chef knife-making, combined with their use of modern materials and technology, has earned them the recognition and praise of millions of professional chefs and home cooks around the world.
