Our all-time bestselling knife, a real go to design that you will find yourself using for everything. The Santoku knife is a popular style of knife in Japan, known for its versatility and ease of use. It is a type of all-purpose knife that is well suited for a wide range of tasks. The name Santoku means “three virtues” in Japanese, referring to its ability to handle three different cutting tasks: slicing, dicing, and mincing.
This knife is finished with a copper and English walnut handle and is available in a choice of two steels: stainless clad Aogami Super or folded iron clad.
The stainless clad version has an Aogami Super core with a stainless outer layer, offering the cutting feel of a high-carbon steel with easier day-to-day maintenance. The folded iron clad version has a reactive iron outer layer, giving each knife more texture and character, and will develop a patina over time with use.

Please note that both the grain of the walnut and the finish of the steel will vary from knife to knife.

The use of sustainable materials in the creation of our knives has always been important to us. We only use native hardwoods for the handles, with the traceability of its source a high priority. Our main supplier is the charity Goldfinch. Based in Bermondsey, they mill and season timber sourced from within London, mainly from windfallen trees.
Within the knife making industry as with most manufacturing there is a huge amount of waste in terms of both energy and materials. We focus on efficiency at every stage of our process, forging as close as possible to the finished dimensions not only helps our blades’ performance it also means we make the most from our precious Japanese laminated steel. We also believe that the longevity of a product is just as important – even if something is made from materials with the greenest credentials they are worth nothing if it is thrown away or replaced in a couple of years.
We make our blades with the aim for each one to be cherished for years to come, with ease of sharpening and maintenance at the forefront of our material selection and design process.
