The Sentan SLD Nashiji Santoku 180mm with blue ferrule is a compact, highly practical knife that excels at everyday prep. Built around SLD semi-stainless steel, it delivers excellent edge retention, solid toughness, and easy maintenance compared to more demanding steels. The thin grind and balanced profile allow for smooth, controlled cutting, whether you�re slicing vegetables, mincing herbs, or portioning proteins.
The stainless cladding improves corrosion resistance and is finished with a nashiji texture that adds subtle character. The exposed SLD edge provides a clean visual contrast and highlights the working portion of the blade. An olive wood handle offers a comfortable grip, while the blue acrylic ferrule adds a bold visual touch and durability. This santoku is an excellent all-around performer for both new and experienced users.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not store the knife wet or leave it in a sheath or saya while damp. Avoid cutting hard or frozen foods. Use a wooden or soft synthetic cutting board. SLD steel is semi-stainless and may develop a light patina over time; this is normal and does not affect performance.Brand: Sentan
