The Ittetsu Etsu Series 130mm Santoku is a compact, highly versatile blade that bridges the gap between a petty and a full-size Santoku. Forged by a guild of master blacksmiths in Sanjo City, Japan, it reflects generations of craftsmanship rooted in Tadafusa’s respected OEM designs.

Built with Sanmai construction, the VG-10 core is clad in 67-layer Damascus and finished with a hand-applied hammer texture. This combination not only adds visual depth but also improves food release during prep. Hardened to approximately 62 HRC, the blade offers excellent edge retention while remaining approachable for everyday use.

An octagonal wa-handle made from mahogany pakkawood provides a comfortable, balanced grip, making this knife especially well suited for detail work, smaller prep tasks, and cooks who prefer a lighter, nimble feel.
