Lamson Vintage Precision Walnut Santoku Hollow Edge

The hollow edge features small indentations along the blade that create air pockets between the steel and the food. This reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the knife, allowing for faster, more efficient slicing.

Hardened to 58 Rockwell, this proprietary high-carbon steel strikes a balance between edge retention and ease of maintenance. It is durable enough to hold a razor-sharp edge through daily prep work while remaining relatively simple to hone at home.

Because the handle is made of natural walnut, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately rather than placed in a dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil will help preserve the wood's finish and prevent it from drying out over time.

The lifetime warranty covers any manufacturer’s defects in materials or workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, misuse, or failure to properly maintain the knife.

The full bolster provides a smooth transition from the handle to the blade, which adds weight and balance to the knife. While it offers a secure grip and finger protection, those with smaller hands may find the weight distribution feels more substantial than a knife without a bolster.
