A compact and versatile Japanese all-rounder, well suited to everyday kitchen prep.
The Santoku is one of Japan’s most popular general-purpose knife shapes, designed for preparing meat, fish and vegetables. At 165mm, it offers plenty of useful cutting edge while remaining compact, nimble and easy to control.
The Noshy range offers an affordable introduction to Japanese kitchen knives. These are straightforward, practical knives without the finer finishing or more elaborate construction found in our higher-priced ranges, but they offer good everyday cutting performance at a particularly accessible price.
A great option for anyone looking to try their first Japanese knife, or for those wanting a dependable everyday kitchen tool without a significant investment.
The blade is made from AUS-8, a Japanese stainless steel that offers a good balance of edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening. It’s relatively forgiving compared with harder Japanese steels, making it a great choice for an everyday working knife.
AUS-8 is a stainless steel, so it’s relatively easy to care for. Hand wash and dry the knife after use and avoid leaving it wet or soaking in the sink. Never put the knife in the dishwasher.
Finished with a simple natural wood handle for a comfortable, lightweight feel in the hand. As a natural material, the exact colour and grain will vary slightly from knife to knife.
