Shizu Hamono Yuri Japanese Santoku Knife - 190mm

The Shizu Hamono Yuri Santoku blends minimalist design with exceptional performance. This elegant all-purpose knife covers the three key tasks of slicing, dicing, and mincing, and its lightweight, balanced construction with a comfortable wooden handle makes daily meal preparation a pleasure.

What is a Santoku Knife?

The Santoku is a beloved all-purpose knife from Japan. Its name translates to "three virtues" or "three uses," which refers to its excellence at the three core cutting tasks: slicing (fish), dicing (vegetables), and mincing (meat). With its versatile shape and relatively flat profile, it's a staple in both home and professional kitchens, adept at handling a wide variety of ingredients with ease.

What's Included

  • 1 x Shizu Hamono Yuri Japanese Santoku Knife - 190mm
  • 1 x Wooden Gift Box

Also available as a 175mm Nakiri in the same Yuri series. Pairs with the Seki Multi Size Knife Guard or the Kai Double-Lock Magnetic Blade Guard for safe storage in a drawer or knife roll.

 

Key Features

  • Premium Triple-Layered Steel: The blade core is crafted from high-quality Molybdenum Vanadium stainless steel for excellent sharpness and durability, reinforced by outer layers of stainless steel for enhanced rust resistance.
  • Full-Tang Construction: The full-tang design with an integrated bolster provides superior balance, strength, and water resistance at the handle joint.

  • Gift-Ready Presentation: Arrives in a stylish wooden box, making it a perfect and thoughtful gift for any cooking enthusiast.

Care & Safety

Use & Care
  • Knife care guide: Cleaning, sharpening and storing your Japanese knives.
  • Cutting board guide: Caring for your Japanese rubber cutting board.
  • Knives: Hand wash and dry immediately after use — never the dishwasher. It's the single biggest thing you can do for the blade and handle.
  • Sharpening: A whetstone keeps Japanese knives at their best — honing rods designed for Western knives can be too harsh for harder Japanese steel.
  • Storage: Store knives in a block, on a magnetic strip or with blade guards — loose in a drawer damages the edge.
Good to Know
  • Choosing a Hasegawa board: Which board suits your kitchen — our guide cuts through the confusion.
  • Gentle on blades: Japanese rubber boards are kind to knife edges — one reason chefs pair them with Japanese knives.
