Yamasuke Santoku Knife 165mm – Blue Steel & Stainless Clad | Echigo Sanjo
A beautifully crafted Japanese santoku knife by Kouetsu (侊悦) of Echigo Sanjo — one of Japan's most renowned blade-making regions. This knife combines the cutting performance of traditional Japanese blue steel with the low-maintenance benefits of a stainless cladding.
Why Blue Steel + Stainless Clad?
- Blue steel (Aoko) core: A premium high-carbon steel known for exceptional sharpness and edge retention — a step above white steel
- Stainless cladding (Jigane): Protects the core from rust and reduces maintenance, making it practical for everyday use
- Satin / Pear finish (Nashi-ji): Reduces food sticking to the blade for smoother, more efficient prep work
Octagonal Ebony Handle
The octagonal ebony (Kashu) handle offers a precise, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use — a hallmark of premium Japanese kitchen knives.
