An In Depth Look

Blade Type

The Santoku knife, a classic in Japanese kitchens, translates to "three virtues," symbolizing its proficiency in slicing, dicing, and mincing. With a shorter, versatile blade and a balanced design, it's ideal for a range of tasks, from cutting meat to chopping vegetables, making it a beloved all-purpose tool.

Steel Type Read

Japanese Blue Steel #2, or "Aogami" #2, is a revered high-carbon steel alloyed with low amounts of chromium and tungsten. It strikes an excellent balance between durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Slightly more ductile than Blue #1, it's widely used in crafting traditional Japanese knives, beloved by chefs for its resilience and sharpness, albeit is slightly softer than Blue 1.

Care Information Read

Hand wash only, never put in a dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing. Store on a magnetic knife strip or in a saya. Sharpen on a whetstone when the blade dulls. Read our full maintenance guide for more information.

Great value for money.

Lovely knife for the money. Well balanced and cuts beautifully. Very easy to sharpen to a razor edge that lasts well during regular use cutting a variety of meats & vegetables. Very happy with purchase.

A fantastic knife!

If you’re looking for a starter knife this is probably the best one you’ll find. Nice weight, great feel and a nice and sharp blade as well!

Amazing quality, phenomenal price!

$100 for a knife of this quality is something you cannot pass up! Very nice looking knife, with a remarkably comfortable handle! I’m using it all day in a café, and could not be happier! Comes sharp!!

FUKAMIZU BLUE 2 SANTOKU 150MM

It’s a small prep knife, very sharp and good for the price. Mine had a small chip on the blades edge but was easily removed. It definitely has me wanting more like this
