Built in Sakai, Japan, the Touroku Sakai Blue Super Hammered Series combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a more rugged, textured aesthetic while maintaining the refined cutting performance the region is known for.

The Santoku is one of the most versatile Japanese kitchen knife profiles available, designed to move comfortably between vegetables, proteins, herbs, and general prep work. Compact and highly approachable, it has become a favorite for both home cooks and professionals looking for an efficient all-around kitchen knife.

At the core of the blade is Blue Super carbon steel, widely respected for excellent edge retention, refined cutting feel, and long-term performance. The stainless steel cladding helps simplify maintenance while preserving the responsiveness and feedback that make carbon steel knives so rewarding to use.

The hammered tsuchime finish adds texture and visual character to the blade while also helping reduce surface sticking and improve food release during prep. The blade geometry feels thin and efficient through ingredients while maintaining enough structure and stability for confident everyday use.

Fitted with an octagonal mono Enkoku oak handle, the wood is smoke-darkened to deepen tone and highlight the natural grain while maintaining a lightweight, balanced feel in hand. The result is a knife that feels both traditional and highly functional without becoming overly delicate or ornamental.

For cooks looking for a versatile Japanese knife with excellent edge retention, approachable maintenance, and a more rustic handcrafted aesthetic, the Touroku Sakai Hammered Santoku offers an outstanding balance of performance and character.

Note: This Santoku has an exposed core of Blue Super carbon steel, which is not stainless. Please follow care instructions for Carbon Steel here.
