Made in Japan, the Shusaku series is forged by Hokiyama from Ginsan #3 Silver, know to be stainless and incredibly sharp. Well priced, they offer an amazing value for your money with a beautiful Nashiji (pear skin) finish. Hardened to 61 HRC to hold a great edge without being too brittle, they are thin behind the edge and more than capable to get the job done! These won't disappoint!

Santoku knives are the ‘go-to’ knives for many chef's as they are known as a general-purpose kitchen knife. Santoku translates to 'three uses' or 'three virtues' and are ideal for slicing, chopping, and dicing as they feature a straight edge with a narrow foot blade. They are highly appreciated by users doing a lot of precision work thanks to the light, narrow blade, which can make extra thin cuts. While they are greatly suited for all, because of their smaller size, they tend to heavily please the chefs with smaller hands.
