7" Santoku Knife - Ji Series (X08)

Reach for this when you're working through zucchini coins or radish sliced paper-thin. The Santoku's push-cut profile suits vegetables that need a clean pass down, not a rock across the board. A julienned capsicum takes two minutes. You'll move faster, and the cuts will be more even.

The Push-Cut Specialist

The core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus. Vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC, the edge stays sharp across a full session of slicing. The shorter blade length means less weight out front, so it's easier to keep your grip consistent through a long veg prep.

Ebony Handle, Full-Tang Build

Ebony is a dense, oily hardwood that resists moisture and doesn't shift colour over time. The handle sits low in the hand with a clean profile that won't fatigue your grip mid-prep. One solid piece of steel runs tip to butt, balancing the knife right at your pinch point.
