The 6.6” Santoku is made in Seki, Japan with a blade crafted from 33 layers of Damascus steel and a VG-10 stainless steel core. The steel is compressed and folded into 66 total layers, creating an eye-catching wave pattern that’s unique to each knife. The tall blade and rounded nose make it a supremely versatile, multi-purpose knife that’s well-suited to all sorts of kitchen prep.
