-Blade Type Santoku (Multi-purpose Utility)
-Blade Length 12.5 cm (5 inches)
-Finish Hand-Hammered (Tsuchime)

-The "Tsuchime" Advantage: The hand-hammered finish creates "air pockets" on the blade surface. This allows starchy vegetables like potatoes or cucumbers to slide off instantly rather than sticking to the steel.

-Compact Versatility: The 5-inch (12.5 cm) blade offers superior maneuverability. It is the perfect choice for intricate vegetable prep, small fruit slicing, or precision meat trimming where a larger knife feels cumbersome.

-Corrosion-Resistant Japanese Steel: Forged from 420J2 Japanese Stainless Steel, this blade is built to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen while remaining remarkably easy to sharpen.

-Seamless Balance: The full-tang design ensures the weight is distributed evenly between the blade and the handle, providing a stable, "weighted" feel that does the work for you.

-Why This Knife?
Who it’s for: Home cooks with smaller hands, or professional chefs looking for a "line knife" that doesn't take up too much space on a crowded prep station.

-Pro Tip: The Santoku's flatter edge (compared to a curved Chef's knife) is designed for a vertical "push-cut" motion rather than a rocking motion, giving you incredibly clean, uniform slices every time.
