Stunning to look at and a revelation to use, this impeccably crafted santoku knife eases a variety of cutting tasks. An impressive 67 layers of steel swirl the Damascus cladding, creating an enduring blade reinforced with a proprietary heat treatment. Skilled artisans sharpen the full-tang knife by hand to an extraordinarily fine edge, and the hollow-edge blade allows food to fall away. A magnetic ashwood sheath protects the blade in a drawer or on camping trips and picnics. Crafted of durable fiberglass, the black and grey faux wood grain handle is secured with a single mosaic rivet for an ornate finishing touch.
