Yoshikane Nashiji SKD12 Santoku 6.5" (HKT-51)

Known as the Asian Chef's Knife, the Santoku excels at making paper thin slices of vegetables but can also be used on protein and for other prep. Balancing beauty with performance, Yoshikane SKD knives are made with SKD, a semi-stainless steel that offers long lasting edge retention and superior cutting performance. The blades feature a N ashiji finish. in Japanese means ‘pear skin pattern ’ . It has a textured feel that comes from a knife finishing technique where the surface of the blade is left looking unfinished or rustic. The teak handles are the traditional octagonal shape w ith a horn ferrule. Due to the nature of handcrafting and traditional blacksmithing, each knife is unique and may have some cosmetic distortion or irregularities. This is expected and normal. Because these knives are handcrafted, they do not qualify for warranty services.
