Elevate your culinary experience with our 180mm Santoku chef knife, meticulously crafted by Custom Forged Blades. Each knife is handmade in the workshop located in Hobart, Tasmania, using sustainable and repurposed materials, ensuring both quality craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. Crafted from recycled high-carbon steel, sourced from a repurposed sawmill blade, the blade of this knife offers exceptional durability and sharpness. The full tang handle, constructed with reclaimed stainless steel pins, provides stability and balance during use.

Hand-forged and finished, each knife is unique, with slight variations that add to its character and charm. With an overall length of 310mm and a blade length of 180mm, this Santoku knife is designed for versatile use in the kitchen. The blade, heat-treated and tempered to achieve a hardness of 55-60 HRC, offers a perfect balance between hardness, flexibility, toughness, and edge retention.

To ensure the longevity of your knife, it is recommended to clean and dry it after each use and periodically apply a thin layer of food-safe oil to the blade. Over time, the blade will develop a corrosion-resistant patina, enhancing both its appearance and performance. Experience the artistry and functionality of our handcrafted kitchen knife, a testament to the dedication and skill of Custom Forged Blades.
