Nagomi Professional Santoku Knife

This knife features a rare, proprietary stainless steel blend selected for its superior edge retention and ease of maintenance. It is engineered to hold a razor-sharp edge longer than typical kitchen knives while remaining straightforward to sharpen when needed.

No, this knife is designed for precision slicing, dicing, and chopping of vegetables, proteins, and herbs. Like most high-performance Japanese knives, it should not be used on bone or frozen items to avoid damaging the fine edge.

At 7.04 ounces, this knife is weighted to do the work for you. It provides enough heft to glide through ingredients using its own momentum, reducing the physical effort required during repetitive meal preparation.

Yes, the 4.92-inch handle is designed to offer a secure, ergonomic grip that balances the 7.08-inch blade. This proportion ensures the knife feels stable and controlled in the hand, regardless of your preferred cutting technique.

Because the steel is designed for ease of sharpening, it responds well to standard whetstones or high-quality honing rods. We recommend avoiding pull-through sharpeners, which can be too aggressive and remove unnecessary material from the blade.
