Shikoku 7" Damascus Steel Kengata Santoku 三徳包丁
The Shikoku 7" Damascus Steel Kengata Santoku unites striking Japanese design with exceptional modern performance, crafted for chefs and home cooks who demand both beauty and precision.
67-Layer AUS10 Damascus Steel
At its core is premium AUS10 steel, clad in 67 layers of Damascus for superb hardness, edge retention and unique visual character. The intricate wave pattern is revealed in every layer, creating a blade that is as captivating as it is razor-sharp. Honed to a precise 8–12° cutting angle, it delivers effortless, scalpel-like precision through vegetables, meats and fish.
Rosewood Handle
The handle is shaped from richly grained rosewood, offering natural warmth and enduring strength. Its elegant contours and perfect balance provide a secure, comfortable grip, ensuring confident control during both delicate slicing and heavy chopping.
Kengata Blade Profile
The distinct Kengata (sword-tip) profile combines the versatility of a Santoku with the pointed precision of a Gyuto. This hybrid design makes it ideal for fine slicing, controlled rocking cuts and intricate knife work.
Culinary Craftsmanship and Timeless Beauty
The Shikoku 7" Kengata Santoku is more than a kitchen tool. It is a statement of refined craftsmanship that transforms everyday cooking into an art form while bringing professional-level performance to your kitchen.

This knife is simply superb; I highly recommend it.
This is a brilliant knife, no doubt. Cuts like a dream. I just personally prefer a slightly more rounded handle, but that's just me being picky. Would still buy it again.
I’m satisfied with this knife. It’s sharp, sturdy, and handles a variety of tasks with ease. The blade is great for all sorts of tasks, from slicing vegetables to cutting through meat, though it does need regular sharpening to maintain its performance. The handle is comfortable, but I think it could benefit from a slightly more ergonomic design for better long-term use.

Superior quality and sharpness. A must-have for serious cooks.
Honestly chuffed to bits with this. The craftsmanship is evident, it's sharp and it just works. Couldn't ask for more.
Way better than the Procook set I had. This one actually holds an edge. The santoku shape is so versatile for pretty much all my veg prep.
Really nice knife, super sharp and looks great. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the handle is a bit slick if your hands are wet, just have to be mindful. Still a great buy.
I’m impressed with the quality and sharpness of this knife; it’s a great addition to my kitchen.
Positive overall. The blade is fantastic, cuts beautifully. I just wish it was a tiny bit longer, maybe an 8 inch version, as I've got big hands. Still recommends.
Cant believe how sharp this is out the box. Used it on a butternut squash and it went through the skin no problem. Really pleased with it for the price.
Bought this for my husband whos really into his cooking. He absolutely loves it, says the damascus pattern is beautiful and its the sharpest knife he's ever owned. Chuffed.
Great knife for the money. The AUS10 steel seems top notch, still slicing paper thin after loads of use. Very happy.
