Best Yasuo Black Santoku Knife, 16.7cm Kitchen Knives

The Yasuo black Santoku knife is made from sharp, durable Damascus steel – perfect for busy home cooks and professional kitchens. It has a sleek Pakkawood handle for superior balance and precise cutting control.  The Santoku knife is a classic Japanese chef’s knife that is shorter and lighter than a typical Western chef’s knife. You can use it for slicing grilled meat, preparing fish and chopping and mincing vegetables. The smooth edge of this kitchen knife is ideal for uniform julienne cuts and the wide blade is great for scraping food off your chopping board.

This Yasuo knife is made in Seki City, Japan. Seki City is well known for the knife making craft, and is often referred to as the knife capital of the world. Nowadays, cities across the world fight for the title, however Seki City is still the champion for any Japanese knives, with the tradition dating back almost 800 years.
