Tojiro Santoku Ouran 165mm (6.5")
Crafted from VG-10 steel, this blade delivers exceptional durability, long-lasting sharpness, and superior rust resistance. The 63-layer Damascus cladding adds both strength and beauty, featuring a striking ripple pattern that highlights the knife’s refined craftsmanship. Ideal for both home cooks and professionals, this blade holds its edge through prolonged use and can be easily resharpened.
“Ouran” means cherry blossom storm — a poetic nod to fleeting beauty and the natural elegance of Japanese design. The Damascus pattern and the warm cherry wood handle bring that image to life, right in your kitchen.
BLADE SHAPE:
The Ouran Santoku is a versatile all-rounder, perfect for slicing vegetables, chopping herbs, and cutting meat or fish. Its shorter length and gently curved edge make it nimble and easy to control — ideal for beginners and pros seeking one knife that can do almost everything.
STEEL:
High-quality VG-10 steel (61 HRC) is clad in softer stainless steel, creating a distinctive Damascus pattern that makes each knife one of a kind.
GEOMETRY:
This knife features a double bevel (50/50 symmetrical), meaning the blade is sharpened symmetrically on both sides. That makes it equally comfortable for both left- and right-handed users and easier to maintain at home. It also allows for clean, controlled cuts—especially helpful for precise, consistent cuts—whether you're prepping quickly or taking your time.
HANDLE:
The oval-shaped cherry wood handle offers a smooth, comfortable grip with a beautiful natural grain. The resin bolster ensures stability, preventing cracking or warping from humidity or temperature changes.
ABOUT TOJIRO:
TOJIRO is one of Japan’s top five knife manufacturers, trusted by chefs around the world for their balance of performance and value. They blend traditional craftsmanship with advanced production techniques, creating knives that are consistently sharp, reliable, and beautifully finished. If sharpness is your priority, TOJIRO delivers—right out of the box and for years to come.
