Description: Hattori Chef's knives are the height of perfection. They epitomize form meeting function in a tool that is not only beautiful to behold, but which performs so well it is a joy to use.
The santoku is the traditional Japanese chef's knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper. The Santoku style has rapidly gained favor among chefs in the West. Perfect balance and a razor sharp edge.
The blade and tang are both distal tapered for a superior sense of balance. The handle was made by Daniel O'Malley using exhibition grade snakewood. The dappled pattern of the snakewood nicely compliments Hattori's damascus. Brass rivets surround a central mosaic pin.
The blade, with its intricate, high contrast Damascus sides is produced to absolute perfection. The center is created from Cowry X steel, one of the best steels anywhere and is hardened to Rc63-65 (extremely hard!). The softer Damascus steel sides are both visually stunning and supportive of the ultra-hard blade. The result is an extremely long-lasting razor-sharp edge.
