Every inch of this santoku is a work of art. The skill and craftmanship that create the knife has been gained from generations of experience and it shows whichever part of the knife you look at.
This version of the knife pairs the classic blade with a full tang, acrylic custom handle with a depth of colour and style that compliments it superbly to create a one-off statement piece of the highest order.
