Description: Texas bladesmith Micah Dunn (b.1987) creates knives that are more than tools — they are works of precision, artistry, and purpose. Every edge, bevel, and handle tells the story of a craftsman committed to excellence, meticulous fit and finish, and a seamless blend of tradition and innovation.
The santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” Depending on who you ask, this refers either to the three types of foods it works especially well with — vegetables, proteins, and fruit, or for the three types of cuts at which it excels: slicing, dicing, and chopping. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, a santoku is very easy to maneuver—even in a smaller kitchen. There's plenty belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife's versatility. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this comfortable knife will do it all.
The 7 inch blade is hand forged L6 tool steel. L6 provides exceptional strength and durability. Because it is carbon steel, we recommend using camellia oil to help protect it from rust and oxidation. The blade has thin geometry for efficient slices with a flat grind. The distal tapered blade ensures perfect balance. Dunn's touchmark is on the right side of the blade.
The ambidextrous Japanese-inspired handle is stabilized and dyed curly maple. A thin black fiber spacer adds subtle contrast. This nimble knife is perfectly balanced: once you use it, you won't want to put it down.
Excellent work throughout!
