Kazoku Uteki Burlwood Green Santoku

A true all-rounder, the Kazoku Uteki Burlwood Green Santoku is your go-to kitchen knife for everyday precision. With its elegant design, outstanding sharpness, and traditional craftsmanship, this 18 cm Santoku brings professional-level performance to your kitchen—at a remarkably competitive price.

Crafted in the heart of Japan’s knife capital, Seki, the Kazoku Uteki Santoku is forged from premium VG10 steel—renowned for its purity, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. Hardened to 60–61 HRC, the thin blade is sharpened to a fine 15° angle, making it razor-sharp and perfect for slicing meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit with minimal resistance. A beautiful Tsuchime (hammered) finish not only gives the blade a unique, artisanal appearance but also helps prevent food from sticking during use.

Designed with both comfort and aesthetics in mind, the octagonal burlwood handle fits naturally in the hand and provides excellent control during prolonged use. The gently tapered shape adds to the ergonomic feel, while the rich green tones in the wood make each handle one-of-a-kind.

Whether you’re just starting your Japanese knife journey or adding to a growing collection, the Kazoku Uteki Santoku offers an exceptional blend of performance, beauty, and value.
