Chef´s knife Puukkopaja Jaska Nukari Santoku, X-cut curly birch

A striking Asian-inspired Santoku from a Finnish blacksmith

Jaska Nukari's workshop crafts high-quality kitchen knives, seamlessly blending performance and visual appeal. The Santoku, a Japanese-influenced chef's knife, excels in cutting meats, fish, poultry, and vegetables. The forged carbon steel blade (80CrV2) ensures long-lasting sharpness with visible craftsmanship marks, creating a rustic appearance. The X-sawn curly birch handle provides a secure grip and a pleasant feel. A wooden blade sheath protects the knife when not in use.

With a hard steel (HRC approx. 61–61.5), the Santoku delivers a precise and biting cut. Regular care is essential for the carbon steel; keep the Santoku clean and dry, occasionally applying a touch of oil.

Jaska Nukari's Santoku is a fusion of European and Asian influences—a superb gift for enthusiasts of Japanese-style kitchen knives and a great addition to any home kitchen knife collection.
