The Santoku knife is thin, light, and cuts like a dream. The handle is beautifully crafted from the reddish wood, renghas. This knife is part of the Ryuga 龍牙 series, hand-forged by master Shiro Kamo. Ryuga translates to "dragon's fang" in Japanese, fitting for a knife that exemplifies strength and precision. The blade features 32 layers of damascus steel with a core of stainless VG-10 steel (61-62 HRC). Shiro Kamo consistently delivers knives with the highest performance. The blades are thin and can be easily sharpened to a razor's edge.
This knife is entirely handmade, of the highest quality, and has a classic Japanese design.
Important Note: The edge is hard and thin. Never force the edge through raw materials as damage to the edge can easily occur. It is a precision instrument that should be used with care.
