SHOP CASE KNIVESPowerful, precise, and made to command respect on the cutting board, the Cangshan Kuro Series 7" Santoku Knife delivers refined performance with uncompromising style. Designed for slicing, dicing, and mincing with speed and control, this all-purpose blade blends Japanese inspiration with rugged durability to become a daily essential for serious home cooks and professionals alike.
Forged from proprietary X-7 steel and clad in 67 layers of flowing Damascus, the blade is visually striking and exceptionally resilient. Cangshan’s ULTRA6 heat treatment process boosts hardness to ~60 on the Rockwell scale, giving the blade excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and strength for heavy kitchen work. The hollow-edge design—small dimples along the blade face—reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking, allowing food to release cleanly with each cut.
Each full-tang knife is hand-sharpened by skilled artisans to a razor-fine edge, delivering exceptional sharpness right out of the box. Balanced and responsive, the knife offers a controlled, confident feel that makes it easy to tackle everything from delicate herbs to dense vegetables and boneless meats.
The octagonal handle is crafted from G-10 fiberglass for extreme durability and water resistance, with a black and grey faux wood grain pattern that adds rugged character. A single stainless steel mosaic rivet anchors the handle, delivering a handcrafted look that pairs perfectly with the forged blade’s bold Damascus pattern.
For added protection and portability, the knife comes with a beautifully made magnetic ashwood sheath. Whether you're storing it in a drawer, traveling for a weekend cookout, or simply adding a showpiece to your counter, the sheath keeps the blade secure and ready for action.
With its ideal 7" length and precision engineering, this Santoku is the tool you'll reach for when efficiency, sharpness, and craftsmanship matter most. Order it today from SMKW!
