A laser-thin performer built with top-tier steel and Takamura’s signature finesse. This 170mm Santoku is forged from SG2 powdered stainless steel, prized for exceptional sharpness, outstanding edge retention, and low-maintenance performance. This is the Japanese domestic OEM model, made for the local market and reflecting Takamura’s uncompromising production standards.

At just 146g, it’s light in the hand and razor sharp out of the box, gliding through ingredients with minimal resistance. The grind is extremely thin behind the edge, making it ideal for precision slicing, fine vegetable work, and fast, controlled prep. The Santoku profile offers excellent balance and versatility, excelling at push cuts and chopping with ease.

Fit and finish are exactly what you’d expect from Takamura. Clean, refined, and beautifully executed. Paired with a simple yet elegant western handle, it feels natural and perfectly balanced in hand. A superb daily driver for cooks who want elite performance, speed, and precision in a compact, highly versatile blade.

We endeavor to provide precise measurements and accurate photographs of our products. However, owing to the handcrafted nature of many items, slight variations may occur.

Please Note: Our Japanese knives are crafted for precision and fine slicing. They are not suitable for cutting bones, frozen foods, or other hard items. To preserve the edge, always use on soft cutting surfaces such as wood or high-quality plastic — never on glass, stone, or metal boards, which can chip or damage the blade.
