Nagomi Knife - Santoku

Originating from the Japanese kitchen, the well-designed shape of the Santoku Knife combines the benefits of a broad-bladed Japanese vegetable knife and meat cleaver. Experienced cooks and chefs have found the Santoku Knife a reliable tool for their cutting techniques.

This beautiful knife was born in Seki, Japan, and has been historically known as forged Samurai swords since the Kamakura period (1185-1333).

With over 100 years of knowledge and experience, Mr. Watanabe, the 5th generation of knife making, had worked with his wife, a chef and a cooking teacher, to create a new knife that has a professional sharpness but is easy to maintain at home.

The unique feature of the knife is to keep a professional sharpness at home for a long time by sharpening the blade a couple of times a month with newspaper.
