Description: David Tuthill has been a blacksmith for many years, creating elegant ornamental ironwork. Over the last few years, his attention to detail and skills in the forge have quickly brought him to create truly world class chef's knives.
This santoku will be an exceptional multipurpose chef's knife. From mincing and chopping garlic or chives to preparing full meals, this will be your go-to knife! The blade height gives plenty of clearance over a cutting board, while the 7 inch blade is easy to maneuver.
The blade is hand forged from David's own damascus, combining 1080 and 15N20 carbon steels. This ensures the knife will have excellent edge holding and chip resistance. A distal taper ensures perfect balance. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for comfort. Because this knife is forged from carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust and oxidation.
The Japanese-inspired half octagonal handle combines beefwood and camphor. The handle is faceted at the top and rounded at the base. This shape is among the most comfortable of traditional Japanese handle styles. This is a knife you won't want to put down! Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
Excellent work throughout!
