Sawakazuma Hubuki SRS13 Santoku Knife 170 mm / 6.7" Oak Handle

Versatile, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted, the Sawakazuma Hubuki Santoku is a trusted all-rounder for everyday culinary work. Its 170 mm (6.7") blade is forged from SRS13 high-speed powdered stainless steel, offering a superb blend of sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance—ideal for those who value both performance and longevity.

“Santoku” means “three virtues,” a nod to the knife’s ability to handle slicing, dicing, and chopping with ease. From proteins to produce, its gently curved belly and finely honed edge invite smooth, rhythmic cuts.

The handle, carved from natural oak, rests comfortably in the hand with a quiet warmth and subtle beauty. It complements the blade’s refined profile with an earthy, tactile presence that speaks to the traditions of Japanese craftsmanship.

Named Hubuki, or “snowstorm,” this knife evokes clarity, focus, and the quiet precision of nature. A harmonious blend of innovation and artistry, ready to meet the needs of any discerning cook.

This knife maker is Sawakazuma from Echizen city, Fukui which is located along the Sea of Japan. Echizen knives have a long history, dating back 700 years. While Japanese knives as a whole are typically designed with thinner blades than their European counterparts, the knives coming from Echizen take that a step further and are even narrower.
