EDIT JAPAN

A Santoku knife is widely used in ordinary households. It is sometimes called an all-purpose knife because it can be used for any purpose. The blade is wider than that of the Petit and Gyuto knives because it is designed so that the blade remains firmly inside and cuts through to the end, even when cutting cabbage and other large vegetables. This is one of the best knives to choose or replace your first one.

We recommend to buy it together with its corresponding sheath (sold separately).

Description

The Damascus pattern created by 16 layers of steel and the hammered pattern created by a craftsman's hammer are the distinctive features of this piece . This steel material has a good balance of sharpness, softness, and rust resistance. It is the No. 1 popular steel material for ai knives, pleasing to the eye in daily cooking and making its presence felt at home parties and outdoors.

Indigo (Ai) dyeing has supported our lives because of its antibacterial and deodorizing properties. The "Ai Kitchen Knife" was created with both functionality and visual appeal by incorporating this technology. This product is a cross between Sakai cutlery, which is a tradition in Osaka, and indigo dyeing, which is rooted in the history of Tokushima. Craftsman collaboration" by craftsmen from different regions and with different techniques aims to increase added value by combining the value of each technique.

Ai knives are also a project that aims to revitalize traditional Japanese craftsmanship by bringing benefits to multiple production areas through a single product. We hope you will enjoy this collaboration of craftsmanship.
