Takamura Santoku with hammerhead

Thin, razor sharp and affordable; this is the Takamura VG-10 Santoku. This knife is handmade in Japan and is among our favorite knives.

The knife is made of hard VG-10 steel that is Sanmai forged. This means that two layers of steel are forged around the hard steel. After this, the knife was worked with a hammer (this operation is called tsuchime). This makes the knife hard but not brittle and makes food stick less while cutting.

Because Takamura forges the knives extra thin, they are a great alternative to well-known brands such as Kai and Miyabi. Although these sometimes have a little more flair this Takamura will offer a fine cutting experience.

  • Blade length 17 cm
  • Total length 30 cm
  • Weight: 155 grams
  • VG10 steel with 2 layers of softer steel
  • Tsuchime hammer finish
  • 61 Rockwell C
