Dark Grain 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife 三徳包丁
The Dark Grain 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife combines Japanese-inspired artistry with modern performance, designed to bring professional-level precision to your home kitchen. From finely dicing vegetables to slicing meats and fish, this Santoku makes every preparation feel effortless and refined.
67-Layer AUS10 Damascus Steel
At its core lies premium AUS10 steel, clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel for exceptional hardness, edge retention and striking visual character. Each unique ripple pattern reflects the craftsmanship behind the blade. Hand-polished and sharpened to a precise 8–12° angle, the edge delivers razor-sharp performance and maintains its keenness through countless meals.
Ebony Wood Handle
The handle is crafted from deep, lustrous ebony wood whose rich grain provides both natural elegance and lasting strength. Perfectly balanced and smoothly contoured, it offers a secure, comfortable grip that ensures confident, controlled movements even during extended prep work.
Hammered Finish for Effortless Cutting
A subtle hand-hammered texture near the spine reduces drag and helps ingredients release easily, allowing each cut to glide cleanly and efficiently.
Culinary Craftsmanship and Everyday Luxury
Beautiful enough to display yet built for daily use, the Dark Grain Santoku is a showcase of precision and artistry. It transforms everyday cooking into a professional, rewarding experience while adding a touch of timeless sophistication to any kitchen.
Ruthlessly sharp, scalpel-like edge is hand finished to a mirror polish within a staggering 8-12° degree angle.
Is made using a blend of traditional handmade techniques and modern processes to achieve exacting standards expected by Japanese consumers and will compare to any Western made knife at even twice the price.
Our finish reduces the adhesion of sticky foods by breaking the vacuum between a smooth surface of the blade and the food being cut.
A comfortable, well-balanced knife which enhances the look of any kitchen as well as the functionality.

I’m pleased with the performance of this knife. It’s sharp, comfortable to use, and seems built to last. The blade is precise and handles a variety of tasks with ease, though it does require frequent sharpening to maintain its edge. The handle is well-designed and provides a secure grip, but I think it could be slightly more cushioned for better comfort during extended use. Overall, it’s a reliable knife that’s worth the investment, even if it does need a bit of upkeep.
