Three virtues, one hand-forged blade. The Torii Santoku turns 7 inches of 7Cr17MoV high carbon steel to meat, fish and vegetables with equal command. The tall, mostly flat edge is built for clean up-and-down chops with just enough curve at the rounded nose for finishing work — simple to master, fast on the board. The hand-hammered face releases food as you cut, and the octagonal maple wa-handle with resin ferrule keeps every stroke balanced. One knife, the whole board. Order now.
