The Kazoku Ketsugo was created for cooks who want the performance of a Japanese steel knife, combined with a more natural and warm design. It delivers the same sharp, precise cutting experience you expect from a higher-end blade, but with a distinct look that stands out in any kitchen.

Why choose the Kazoku Ketsugo?

  • Japanese AUS10 Damascus steel
  • Comparable edge retention to VG10
  • Warm and unique olive wood handle
  • Balanced 18 cm all-purpose santoku
  • Sharp, durable, and easy to maintain
  • Ideal for home cooks who want performance and design

The Santoku is a true all-round knife with a slightly shorter and flatter blade profile. It excels at push cutting and precise slicing of vegetables, fish, and meat. The compact shape offers excellent control, making it a favorite for cooks who prefer a lighter, balanced knife.

The blade is made from Japanese AUS10 steel with a Damascus finish. AUS10 is comparable to VG10 in hardness and edge retention, offering long-lasting sharpness and a clean cutting feel. It holds its edge well and remains easy to maintain with regular honing and sharpening.

The olive wood handle gives this knife its character. Each handle has a unique grain pattern, making every piece slightly different. It feels warm and comfortable in the hand while maintaining balance and stability during use.

If you want Japanese steel performance with a more natural and elegant design, the Kazoku Ketsugo is a strong and popular choice.
