The Masutani VG-1 Santoku 17 cm combines traditional Japanese knife design with practical modern materials. Its balanced Santoku shape allows accurate cutting and efficient preparation of vegetables, meat, and fish.
Built with a VG-1 steel core, the blade offers reliable sharpness and easy maintenance supported by a hardness of about 61 +/-1 HRC. Stainless cladding improves durability, while the Tsuchime surface enhances both appearance and food release.
An octagonal pakka wood handle provides secure grip and stable handling. This model reflects the approach of Masutani knives, which emphasize functional performance, durability, and accessible craftsmanship.
