Nakamura Blacksmith Kurouchi Santoku 150mm

$89.99

Includes: 

  • Kurouchi 'Santoku' Kitchen Knife (handcrafted from steel, 15cm blade length
  • Red Sharpening Stone (15cm x 4cm x 3cm)
  • FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

A handcrafted double bevel knife made from Shirogami (white steel) No. 2 steel, a very traditional steel prized by blacksmiths and knife enthusiasts alike for its great edge retention and legendary sharpness.
The knife has a light poplar wooden handle, and the blade is engraved with the signature of the smithy. The pack includes a small whetstone you can use to keep your blade clean and sharp.
About the blade type: This is a multi-purpose knife, especially handy for cutting veggies.
You can choose from a normal or thick blade.
Thicker blades are more durable and suited for heavy-duty tasks, while thinner blades are better for precision cutting and slicing due to their ease of maneuverability.

*Each knife is crafted by hand, so there may be slight variations in weight and dimensions. We ask for your kind understanding.

*Depending on the number of orders and smithy availability, it can occasionally take up to 3 weeks for your knife to ship.

*This knife is made from steel, so it is normal for a certain amount of rust to form over time. Please use the sharpening stone included with your order to remove any rust. You will find a video which explains how to sharpen your knife at the bottom of this page.

*Depending on the value of your order and local import rules in your country, you may be required to pay additional import taxes when your package arrives.

Santoku 150mm

Wonderful handmade knife, very light, easy to handle and quite sharp, amazingly fast delivery, ordered 6/13 delivered 6/23/25. It has already become my favorite knife. I will be ordering more for myself and family. I also want to thank Japanese Food Craftsman for their YouTube channel allowing the world to see the process of making these fine blades, and more importantly the skilled smiths who craft them. Praying blessings and continued success for the channel and the craftsmen and women who create such useful and beautiful works of art.
