Takamura Hamono VG10 Santoku
Currently out of stock (When is it back?) (0)
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!

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.
