About the Shape - This is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160 mm – 190 mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.
About Haruyuki Nagisa - The stunning Nagisa series from Haruyuki is perfect for any home cook or young chef looking for a set of sexy, reliable, and rugged kitchen knives. The AUS-10 steel core takes a blazingly sharp edge and is sandwiched between a cascade of gorgeous Damascus steel. The simple, elegant oak wood handle gives this line its name, and we love the minimalist look of a single piece of wood used for the handle.
