A V-Gold No.10 clad steel blade
We make the blade from V-Gold No.10 cobalt steel, a hard core clad in stainless, which holds a keen edge and cuts cleanly. One owner has used the knife for ten years without a chip, and another says chicken slices like sashimi, which shows how fine the cut is.
Sub-zero heat treatment for stable hardness
The blade is heat treated with a sub-zero process, which helps to stabilise the hardness of the steel. That supports the long-lasting sharpness owners describe, though one owner notes the hard steel is not easy to sharpen, so a good whetstone and some patience are helpful.
A finger-guard bolster and secure handle
The SUS410 stainless bolster has a finger guard, and the laminated reinforced-wood handle is held by three rivets. The knife weighs 158 g with a 180 mm blade, and an owner says the weight and balance are good and the knife is easy to use.
A gift box with a leaflet
The knife arrives in a cream gift box with red lining, together with an explanation leaflet and an instruction card. It suits a birthday, a housewarming or any occasion, and one owner gave it to a relative's child who wanted a properly sharp knife.
Honest notes on smell and sharpening
One owner found a metallic smell at first and used the knife less, and another found it very hard to sharpen. Washing the knife well before the first use helps, and we list these facts plainly so you can judge whether it suits you.
A reasonable price for lasting sharpness
Owners call it good value, with one saying the quality is outstanding for the price and another that it is worth the money. A knife that keeps its edge for years can save time and money, and it ships directly from Japan, made in Japan.

STORAGE

Store dry at room temperature, about 20 C (68 F), in a drawer with a blade guard or in a knife block, away from moisture.

SHELF LIFE

Durable kitchen tool with no expiry date.

PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

The blade is very sharp. Keep out of reach of children. Hand wash and dry at once, and do not use it on bones or frozen food, which can chip the hard edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our Seki Kotetsu santoku is made in Japan, in the Seki tradition of fine Japanese blades. We ship every knife directly from Japan, and the origin is also listed in the specifications, so you know exactly where your knife comes from before you order it. The knife arrives in a gift box with an explanation leaflet.

What is V-Gold No.10 steel?

V-Gold No.10 is a hard cobalt-containing stainless steel often used for fine kitchen knives, here used as a core clad in stainless steel. It holds a keen edge for a long time. The blade is also heat treated with a sub-zero process, which helps to stabilise its hardness, so the sharpness lasts through years of daily cooking.

Is it hard to sharpen?

One owner who has used the knife for ten years says it cuts very well and has never chipped, but that it is very hard to sharpen. Hard steel needs a good fine whetstone and patience, and you should keep the angle steady. Always cut on a wood or soft board, and avoid bones or frozen foods.

Does it smell of metal?

One owner noticed a metallic smell at first and used the knife less often. Washing it well with warm water and detergent before the first use usually helps, and the smell is not reported by other owners. Dry the knife at once after washing, and wipe the handle so the wood stays in good condition.

What comes in the box?

The knife arrives in a cream gift box with red lining, together with an explanation leaflet and an instruction card about its care. The packaging suits a gift, and one owner gave the knife to a relative's child who wanted a properly sharp kitchen knife. The finger-guard bolster adds to the secure feel in the hand.

How is this knife shipped and when will it arrive?

We ship directly from Japan, and delivery takes 7-14 business days. Any item with a shelf life ships with a minimum of 6 months remaining. Tracking is provided so you can follow your parcel from our shipping point to your door. Your knife is packed carefully so the blade arrives safely and ready for your kitchen.
