The Santoku knife is the Japanese equivalent of the chef's knife. It's suitable for all kitchen tasks, such as chopping vegetables or preparing and slicing meat and fish. The blade's shape allows for convenient transfer of sliced ​​ingredients from the cutting board to a bowl or pot.

The Osaka knife was handcrafted, from forging and hardening to grinding and sharpening. The blade is made of 440C steel – a martensitic steel with a high carbon content commonly used in Japanese blades. The steel is abrasion and corrosion resistant and does not react with cut food. The blade has a Rockwell hardness of 60 HRC, making it exceptionally hard and retaining its edge perfectly.

The knife's handle is crafted from olive wood, a highly aesthetically pleasing material. The wood's distinctive grain, with its high contrast and bright colours, lends the knife a natural look and makes each piece unique. Combined with the decorative pattern on the blade, these features make Osaka series knives a unique and eye-catching accent in any kitchen.

The knife is packaged in an elegant wooden box, making it a perfect gift for an avid cook.
