Daisuke Nishida White #1 Santoku kurouchi
Currently out of stock (When is it back?) (0)
Nishida san's santoku is a very impressive example of a traditionally made knife and with its white 1# steel core it takes and retains wickedly sharp edge that makes using it an abosolute joy.
As the carbon steel and soft iron cladding develops a full patina over time, you'll be delighted not only at how it performs time after time but also how it evolves visually.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
