Product Overview

The Sekizo 8117-A2 combines a stainless steel santoku blade with a pale wooden handle and black collar. Its broad blade rises from a defined heel and curves into a rounded-tip profile, providing a different shape from the long taper of a gyuto or yanagi.

The knife measures 11.75 inches overall with a 6.5-inch blade. The plain cylindrical wood grip keeps the handle visually simple, while the matching A2 family offers other blade profiles with the same light-wood and black-collar styling.

Choose the broader santoku profile

The blade carries more height toward the front than a long narrow slicing knife. Its compact outline offers a general-purpose option when a longer gyuto or yanagi is not the desired working shape.
