The Katana Saya Tiger Knives represent the perfect fusion of tradition, craftsmanship, and bold design, making them an exceptional tool for any kitchen. The 18cm Santoku blade is crafted from VG-10 Damascus steel, renowned for its outstanding durability, sharpness, and resistance to corrosion. The blade features a core of VG-10 steel surrounded by 67 layers of Damascus, which not only enhances strength but also creates the beautiful, intricate pattern on the blade. With a hardness rating of HRC 60+, the blade maintains its razor-sharp edge even after repeated use.

The term Santoku means 'three ways' in Japanese, referring to the knife’s versatility in slicing, dicing, and chopping. The fluted blade design prevents food from sticking, making the cutting process smoother and more efficient. This larger 18cm blade provides excellent all-around utility, whether you are preparing vegetables, meats, or fish. The precision and sharpness of the knife enable you to tackle any kitchen task with ease, ensuring clean cuts and minimal effort.

The tiger print handle is not only visually striking but also ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable, secure grip. Its well-balanced construction reduces hand fatigue during long periods of use, offering both control and comfort for the user. The unique handle design complements the blade’s fierce aesthetic, making the knife as much a work of art as it is a functional kitchen tool.

For safe storage, the knife is equipped with a wooden Saya, a traditional Japanese sheath that protects the blade and keeps it in perfect condition when not in use. The Saya also ensures safe handling, guarding against accidental cuts when retrieving or storing the knife.

Inspired by the Year of the Tiger in Oriental Astrology, the Katana Saya Tiger Knives embody strength, resilience, and courage—the qualities associated with this majestic animal. Every knife in this collection is meticulously crafted to provide exceptional cutting performance, making it a valuable addition to any kitchen. The Katana Saya Tiger range is not just a knife; it’s an experience, offering both practicality and a touch of wild elegance to your culinary space. Presented in a gift box, it makes for an impressive gift, combining the finest Japanese craftsmanship with a bold and striking design.
