8" Santoku Knife for precision kitchen work
The Kessaku KES63071 is an 8-inch Santoku knife forged from Japanese AUS-8 high-carbon stainless steel. It is built for cooks who want a single, versatile blade for slicing, dicing and mincing with controlled agility. The full-tang construction and triple-rivet handle deliver lasting structural integrity for daily professional or home use.
Sheath protects the hand-finished edge
An 8-inch custom sheath is included to guard the blade when stored or transported. The military-grade G10 carbon-fibre handle resists heat, cold and moisture while its seamless design prevents debris ingress. Ergonomic shaping with ample knuckle clearance supports a secure grip during extended prep sessions.
Rockwell 56 hardness holds a keen 14° edge
Heat-treated and nitrogen-cooled steel reaches a Rockwell hardness of 56 for strength, flexibility and durable edge retention. Each blade is hand-sharpened using the traditional 3-stage Honbazuke method to 14° per side for clean, precise cuts. The alloy's added chromium enhances corrosion and rust resistance in humid kitchen environments.

Questions about this item
How often will the 14° per side edge need re-sharpening?
The AUS-8 steel hardened to 56 HRC holds its 14° edge well; touch it up on a fine stone when cutting feels less crisp.
What stops the blade from cutting cleanly during a long prep session?
Edge retention is the first limit — the 56 HRC AUS-8 steel will eventually roll rather than chip, so a quick hone restores bite.
Does the G10 handle get slippery or hot when used continuously?
The military-grade G10 is nearly impervious to heat, cold and moisture, so grip stays secure and the handle stays temperate all day.
