Premium Kyohei Shindo Warikomi Blue #2 Santoku Knife 165mm - Japanese Chef Knife for Slicing, Dicing & Mincing - Perfect for Home Cooks & Professional Chefs

Kyohei Shindo Santoku Knife

Hokkaido-born Kyohei Shindo realized his childhood dream of becoming a blacksmith by establishing his own shop in Tosa City, Kōchi Prefecture, at the age of 32. His knives, known for their tapering spine and incredibly thin cutting edge, feature a traditional Tosa lacquered kurouchi finish.

The out-of-box edge and performance of these knives are seldom matched for the price. The Santoku, or "knife of three virtues," is designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping, making it suitable for nearly anyone, especially those who prefer rock chopping or have limited kitchen space.

 If you purchase one of our custom handles with this knife we will install it before shipping.

Free Touch up:  We believe knives should arrive sharp - we will touch these up before we ship.
