NWD 45 layer Damascus 18cm Santoku

One of our most popular series of knives, the 45 layer Nickel Warikomi Damascus is beautiful and functional and will be the showpiece of any kitchen. With a thin blade and a light agile feel, meal prep is a dream. Kikuichi blade-smiths construct this series with a core of Aichi AUS-10 stainless clad between 11 layers of nickel, 6 layers of SUS420 and 5 layers of J1 stainless steel, creating the damascus pattern. These have a thin blade and a light agile feel. The Japanese Rosewood Octagon handle is comfortable and durable. Literally translated, Santoku means three virtues and performs at a high-level with meat, fish and vegetables.
