Hikari 光 7" Damascus Steel Professional Santoku Knife 三徳包丁
This breathtaking 7" Hikari Damascus Santoku Knife is individually forged from 67-layer Japanese Damascus Steel with an HRC Rating as high as 62 for unparalleled hardiness and performance.
33-layers of Damascus on each side surround the Japanese VG10 Steel Core. Built to last and retain sharpness so that you will never need another santoku knife again.
The Hikari Santoku Knife features integrated full-tang moulding from blade to handle, which allows for increased force and leverage, making it useful against even the toughest of meats and vegetables.

The handle is also completely waterproof, heat-resistant, and non-slip, so it will feel absolutely wonderful in your hand. Finally, there is a Blossom Plum Rivet on the handle to enhance both the look and feel.

Sold OutThe knife arrived in a nice sturdy box, which was a nice touch. The blade is beautiful with all those layers. It's my first real Japanese knife and I'm hooked. Cuts so much better than my old grocery store knives.
Brilliant knife. Sharp out of the box, cuts through tomatoes like nothing. The handle is comfortable and the full tang gives it a good heft. Been using it daily for 3 weeks now and it's still perfect. Definitely recommend.
Really nice knife overall. The steel is great, holds an edge, and it looks beautiful. My only very minor thing is the handle shape—it's a little blocky for my hand, took a day or two to get used to. But the performance is fantastic, cuts through everything easily. Still very happy with the purchase.
So I've been using this Hikari santoku for about a month now and it's honestly my favorite knife in the kitchen. The edge is still crazy sharp, I use it for everything from veggies to slicing up chicken breasts. The handle feels solid and the damascus pattern is way prettier in person than in the pictures. For the price I really can't complain, it's a massive upgrade from the cheap set I had before.
Bought this for my husband who loves to cook. He was so impressed with the damascus pattern and how sharp it was right out of the box. He says it's perfectly balanced and makes chopping veggies a breeze.
A fantastic knife that combines sharpness with a comfortable grip, making meal prep easier.
