SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cangshan Naka Series 6" Santoku Knife is a compact powerhouse forged for precision, balance, and control. Inspired by traditional Japanese design, this all-purpose blade handles slicing, dicing, and chopping with fluid ease. Whether you're breaking down dense vegetables, preparing delicate herbs, or slicing boneless meats, this knife delivers clean, efficient cuts every time.
Forged from proprietary X-7 Damascus steel, the blade features 67 layers of steel folded to create an intricate pattern that's as durable as it is striking. Each blade undergoes Cangshan’s proprietary ULTRA6 heat treatment process to ensure optimal hardness, scoring a consistent 60 ±2 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. This treatment enhances edge retention and toughness, giving you a fine-edge blade that performs at a professional level.
The 6-inch Santoku blade features a hollow-edge design that minimizes drag and prevents food from sticking—an essential detail when you're prepping ingredients quickly or dealing with moist, starchy items. Every stroke feels fluid and controlled, allowing for clean, precise work without resistance.
The handle is made from rugged, water-resistant G10 fiberglass composite, shaped with a slim, ergonomic profile that fits comfortably in the hand. A single stainless steel mosaic rivet adds an elegant touch without sacrificing strength. Full-tang construction ensures a balanced feel, giving you complete control over every movement.
This knife also comes with a beautifully crafted magnetic saya sheath made of ashwood. Not only does it protect the blade when stored in a drawer or carried to a picnic or outdoor event, but it also complements the knife’s refined appearance. Every detail, from the materials to the craftsmanship, speaks to Cangshan’s commitment to quality and performance.
Whether you're an avid home cook or a seasoned pro, the Cangshan Naka Series 6" Santoku Knife is built to meet the demands of a serious kitchen. Backed by a lifetime warranty and NSF certification, it's a reliable tool you'll reach for day after day. Order it today from SMKW!
