Blade specs you can read and understand
We state the blade thickness, 1.8 mm, the hardness, HRC 50 plus or minus 2, and the edge angle, 22 to 25 degrees. You know what you are holding before you cook, and you can compare it with confidence against any other knife.
A thin blade for clean everyday cutting
The 1.8 mm blade is high-carbon stainless steel with a double-edged grind, so it slices vegetables, meat and fruit cleanly. The balanced hardness helps the edge last, and you can use the knife for most everyday cutting jobs.
A stainless-covered handle that wipes clean
We cover the handle in 18-0 stainless steel over an ABS resin core rated to 70 C. The smooth silver surface wipes clean in seconds, so the knife stays neat and ready for the next meal with very little effort.
A knife that works for either hand
The blade is ground on both sides, so right-handed and left-handed cooks can use it comfortably. Everyone in your household can share one simple santoku, and nobody needs to adjust their grip or look for another tool.
A practical size that suits everyday cooking
At about 28 x 4 x 2 cm with a 165 mm blade, the santoku is a practical, familiar size. It handles vegetables, meat and fruit on a standard board, so one knife covers most of what you cook day to day.
A maker with deep Tsubame-Sanjo roots
We began in 1967 in Sanjo, Niigata, a region known for cookware and metalwork, and we have made kitchen goods ever since. More than 55 years of experience stand behind this simple, clearly specified knife.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is this knife made?

Our Hikou stainless santoku is made in China to our own specifications, and we ship it directly from Japan. We are a company that began in 1967 in Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a region known for cookware and metalwork. The country of origin is listed plainly in the specifications, so you know exactly what you are getting before you order it.

What do the blade specifications mean?

The blade is 1.8 mm thick, which makes it a slim, practical cutting blade. The hardness is HRC 50 plus or minus 2 after heat treatment, a balance between durability and ease of sharpening. The edge is ground on both sides at an angle of 22 to 25 degrees, which gives a keen cut for everyday vegetables, meat and fruit.

What is the handle made of?

The handle has an ABS resin core that is heat resistant to 70 C, covered with an 18-0 stainless steel surface. The stainless surface gives a smooth, clean look and wipes clean quickly. Because the core is resin and is rated to 70 C, wash the knife by hand and keep the handle away from high heat.

How should I care for this knife?

Wash the knife by hand soon after use, wipe the blade and the handle dry and store it in a drawer with a blade guard or in a knife block. Keep the handle away from heat above 70 C. Cut on a wood or soft plastic board to protect the edge, and sharpen the blade on a whetstone when it softens.

Is it suitable for left-handed cooks?

Yes. The blade is ground on both sides, so right-handed and left-handed cooks can use it with the same comfort. The smooth stainless-covered handle is easy to hold, and the thin 1.8 mm blade is simple to control for every kind of cut. Always hold the handle with dry hands and cut on a stable board.

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.
