Bring Japanese precision to your kitchen with the Kanetsune KC-952 Santoku Knife, a lightweight yet powerful all-purpose blade made in the legendary knife-making city of Seki, Japan. Part of the renowned Kanetsune USA Knives & Cutlery collection, this 165mm Santoku knife blends traditional aesthetics with modern performance, making it a trusted tool for slicing, dicing, and mincing.
Premium Blade Craftsmanship
At the heart of the KC-952 is a DSR-1K6 stainless steel blade, developed by Daido Steel Co., Ltd. It features a balanced carbon content and added molybdenum, delivering a sharp, durable edge with an HRC rating of 57±1.0. The blade’s hammered “Tsuchime” finish not only gives it a striking appearance but also reduces drag, helping ingredients fall away cleanly while you chop.
