7" Santoku Knife - Retro Series (PM8S)

Meet the master of precision and versatility. The 7-inch Santoku, or "three virtues" knife, is the Japanese all-rounder, beloved for its ability to slice, dice, and mince with incredible speed and accuracy. It's the perfect counterpart—or alternative—to a traditional chef knife.

The Santoku Advantage

Unlike a curved Western chef knife, the Santoku features a flatter belly and a sharp "K-tip" point. This design is built for a fast, efficient "push-cutting" motion, giving you laser-precise results and paper-thin slices of vegetables, fish, and proteins. Its balanced, nimble feel makes it a joy to use for all your daily prep.

Performance Meets Classic Style

At its heart is a high-performance 10Cr15CoMoV steel core, vacuum heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. This hard-cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it, giving you precise, effortless cuts long after other knives have gone dull. The stunning, octagonal "Retro" handle is crafted from a classic combination of deep red wood and genuine black buffalo horn, providing a secure, comfortable grip and timeless, elegant control.
