Description & specifications
I Seki City, the knife manufacturer Sankurafuto (Suncraft) has been in operation since 1959, delivering some great knives in both the East and the West.
The Retro Series features a more traditional look, with a beautiful, rustic nashiji finish on the top of the blade, and a traditionally octagonal handle.
This knife is a 167mm santoku, with ginsan in the core, and 2 stainless steel outer layers. Ginsan is a stainless steel with many of the same properties as carbon steel, meaning it is easy to sharpen and gets really sharp.
