Blade Hardness
HRC (Rockwell Hardness) measures how hard the blade's steel is tempered. A higher rating holds a fine edge through extended use, a hallmark of Japanese blade craftsmanship.
Stain Resistant
This steel resists rust and staining from moisture and acidic foods, making it easy to maintain with routine care.
Saya Cover
This knife does not automatically come with a saya cover included. Adding one with your order lets us shape it to this exact blade, a fit no aftermarket cover can match. A saya purchased separately later is cut to standard dimensions rather than this specific blade, so the fit is left to chance.

Product Details
Ginsan steel is expertly forged by our master artisans to create traditional Japanese knives of the highest quality, ensuring peace of mind in fast-paced work environments. This innovative steel combines traditional craftsmanship with modern metallurgy, incorporating high-carbon steel and stain-resistant metallic elements to deliver exceptional performance.
Our Nashiji Stainless Clad Ginsan series features blades that are meticulously forged with stainless steel cladding, resulting in a stunning Nashiji finish that adds a unique rustic aesthetic. Each knife is complemented by a handcrafted Black-Blue Pakkawood full-tang handle, secured with three stainless steel rivets for a grip that is both durable and comfortable. To enhance protection and elegance, we recommend pairing this knife with an optional protective wooden sheath known as a Saya, which safeguards the blade when not in use. This series is a favorite among chefs who require high-performance knives that maintain their edge and resist staining even after long hours of use.
One of the most versatile and popular knives for chefs today is the Santoku knife, an all-purpose Japanese chef's knife. The term "Santoku" translates to "three virtues," which refers to the knife's blade design, blending features from the traditional vegetable knife (Usuba) and the Gyuto into one exceptional tool. This fusion makes the Santoku a beloved choice for both professional chefs and home cooks, enabling them to tackle a wide range of cutting tasks with ease and precision.
Recommended to purchase with a Custom-Cut Saya Knife Cover Sheath.
