Why it's exceptional
Form follows function. Every part of this knife is there for how it cuts, how it balances, and how long it lasts.
67-layer Damascus
Folded steel with a pattern that's the by-product of how it's made - layered for strength, finished to a mirror at the edge.
10CR core
A hard steel core runs the length of the blade, taking and holding a keen edge through real, daily use.
Full tang
The blade runs right through to the base of the handle - weight where you want it, balanced in the hand.
Triple-riveted rosewood
A close-grained rosewood handle, set with three rivets so it stays true for the life of the knife.
Or buy it as the set
The knife and the three things that keep it at its best - a whetstone, the sharpening guide, and an end grain board that's kind to the edge. Bought together, looked after for years.

Made to be used every day and handed on. Looked after, it outlives the kitchen it's bought for.
The knife qualifies on its own. The set always does.
The S4 santoku and the rest of the range share the same blade and build - a different knife for a different hand.
