Ronin Series Santoku

The Kessaku KES43071 is a 7-inch Santoku knife from the Ronin Series designed for home cooks and professionals who want a Japanese-style blade for precise slicing, dicing and mincing. Its Granton edge reduces food sticking during repetitive prep work.

Forged high-carbon steel and pakkawood handle

The blade uses 7Cr17MoV stainless steel that is heat treated and nitrogen cooled to a Rockwell hardness of 58 for corrosion resistance and edge retention. A full-tang construction with triple rivets secures the pakkawood handle and resin band, while the seamless build prevents debris ingress and the included blade guard protects the edge during storage.

Hand-sharpened 16° edge for clean cuts

Each knife is hand-sharpened using the traditional 3-stage Honbazuke method to 16° per side, delivering a keen edge that holds well under normal kitchen use. The ergonomic handle provides knuckle clearance and a secure grip, reducing fatigue during extended cutting tasks without excessive force.
