Kikuichi Ginsan Sanmai 6.5″ Santoku Knife CUTLERY

Kikuichi 6.5 in. (165mm) Santoku makes an excellent all purpose knife due to the length the blade extends from the bolster (Knuckle Clearance) however due to the flat belly the Santoku is often considered a highly adept vegetable prep knife. This unique Sanmai (clad) series from Kikuichi uses a Ginsan (Silver 3) Steel clad by tough thin (SUS405) steel. Most handmade double-beveled Gyutos in Japan are made of Blue or White steel, the Ginsan will have the same edge retention as those steels but is nearly stain-free compared to White or Blue.
