Thank you for viewing. This is a Santoku knife with a forged hammered finish. The blade is made of high-carbon stainless steel, also used in custom knives. Craftsmen forge each blade individually to enhance its performance, leaving the hammered finish as proof of this process. It is hand-sharpened with a genuine edge and finished with a costly clamshell blade. This enhances durability, sharpness, and the ease with which food separates from the blade, making it an exceptional piece. The handle is made of beautifully crafted ebony wood, rounded for a comfortable grip. It is designed with minimal joints to prevent dirt accumulation. The decorative metal accents add a touch of elegance. It is designed with minimal joints to prevent dirt accumulation. It comes with decorative metal accents. Free shipping. Please consider it.
