The Blacksmith
Tsukasa Hinoura is a master bladesmith who works out of the Sanjo region of Japan and is the third generation of blacksmith in his Family. He is most famous for his river jump damascus knives which are some of the most elusive knives in the Japanese kitchen knife world. He is also famous for his incredible skill in all aspects of the knife making process and is committed to using only traditional techniques in the production of his knives.
The Knife
Tsukasa Hinoura being the master smith that he is has heat treated this knife to perfection and has finished the sharpening process by hand polishing the bevels on natural whetstones for a rustic, simple and elegant finish. The iron cladding won't help with rust resistance but it will make this knife a joy to sharpen and polish over the years and years that you own it.
The Shape
The word "Santoku" translates to "Three Virtues" and refers to either slicing, dicing and chopping or meat, fish and vegetables; depending on who you ask. Basically, the name implies the extreme versatility of the shape which is what has made this shape the most popular among Japanese home users. It is great for those who find the standard 8 inch chefs knife to be a bit too long and intimidating while remaining capable of many tasks.
