Hokiyama Santoku Ginsanko is a multi-purpose Japanese kitchen knife , mostly suitable for use in home kitchens. Santoku knives are the most commonly used knives in Japanese home kitchens and have in recent years conquered the rest of the world too. This santoku by Hokiyama will serve all those looking for a smaller and versatile knife with a little more emphasis on vegetable preparation. The knife will shine with all kinds of chopping and cutting on the cutting board, but it will run out of blade length for larger cuts of meat. Beautiful and unique hammer dents were left unpolished on the top part of the blade. At the bottom of the blade we can see a very pronounced, curvy line that goes along the entire length of the blade. This is the line between the core and the two softer, outer layers of steel that serve as additional protection of the core steel. Such sandwich of the harder core steel and softer outer steels is called san-mai clad, most of today's Japanese knives are made this way. The heart of this santoku is made of Hitachi's Silver III steel , also named Ginsan steel or Ginsanko, which was hardened to around 63 HRC . Due to its high content of Chromium (Cr), Ginsan steel will resist corrosion very well. Hokiyama Santoku Ginsanko is fitted with a Zelkova octagonal wood handle suitable for left or right-hand use.
