Product Overview

The 8117-H2 santoku combines a broad stainless-steel blade with a patterned, hammered-looking upper face and a brown wooden handle. Its black collar and darker grip distinguish it visually from the pale-handled smooth 8117-A2.

The knife measures 11¾ inches overall with a 6½-inch blade. Its broad cooking-knife shape is separate from the long, narrow sashimi form, even where the hammered surface treatment coordinates across the range.

Distinguish the blade finish from the blade role

The patterned upper face identifies this finish, while the broad santoku outline identifies the cooking format. A matching hammered sashimi knife has a different long, narrow shape and should be selected for that separate role.
