Sometimes, a santoku is not just another chef’s knife. With multi-bar, mosaic damascus house-made by Salem Straub, this particular santoku features a 195mm / 7.67" blade standing 50mm tall with superb compound S-grind geometry, the concave section shaped from a tiled mosaic damascus, the convex span shaped from alternating twists of low-layer and 'bajillion' layer patterns. The right-handed 'D' shape handle in gorgeous red-orange amboyna burl wood with heirloom-fit bolster is icing on the cake, guarantying that this knife will impress both on the cutting board, and on display.
