Great christmas gift, not to early to start shopping.
Santoku translates as 'three virtues' or 'three uses', a reference to the three cutting tasks the knife performs well: slicing; dicing; and mincing. The wide blade also makes moving from the cutting board to the pan easy. This is a great, lightweight kitchen utility, I have one that I use nearly every day for all my prep work.
The blade is 1 7/8 wide, 7" (sharp part) from 1/8" ATS 34 stainless, full flat grind to about 0.015 edge, with a 15 degree bevel. Professional heat treat (58 - 60 Rc).
The handle is 4 3/4" x 1 7/8" nice oval shape and easy in the hand, buffalo horn, red fiber spacers, copper spacer, and stabilized ribbon maple. The handle has a nice glimmer and shows the ribbon well.
A birch Saya (sheath) is included.
Price $135.00 + 11.50 shipping by Priority Mail
