The Custom Chef Cuisine::pro Damashiro Emperor 5.5" Santoku Knife

The Cuisine::pro Damashiro EMPEROR collection is forged from premium 420J2 Japanese steel with a high carbon content, delivering lasting sharpness, strength, and performance. Each Damascus-inspired blade features a hammered tsuchime finish and is ice-hardened and leather-sharpened using time-honored techniques for superior precision. Finished with a contoured walnut pakkawood handle, these knives bring refined beauty and balance to any modern kitchen.

The Cuisine::pro Damashiro EMPEROR 5.5in Santoku delivers the versatile performance of a full-size santoku in a smaller, more agile design. Perfect for slicing meats, cheeses, vegetables, and nuts, it offers precision and balance for detailed prep work. The knife's low tip and broad blade make it ideal for slicing, dicing and mincing, while recessed scallops reduce friction and help release thin slices and sticky ingredients with ease.
