A classic santoku from Takamura Hamono. It's a delight to cut with and the subtle black pakka wood Western handle combines to make a light and nimble knife that's going to make short work of a lot of food prep.
Please note: This version is from their unbranded line which allows for a lower price so an excellent deal if you want performance without a logo!
