Product: Vintage 7″ Santoku Style Chef Knife

Designed for cooks who appreciate both versatility and precision, this hybrid Chef x Santoku brings together the best characteristics of two of the kitchen’s most popular profiles. The thinner, shorter blade is lighter than a traditional chef’s knife, making repetitive prep work feel faster and more comfortable. Its flatter belly creates a larger chopping surface that excels at slicing, dicing, mincing, and chopping vegetables, fruits, herbs, and proteins with smooth, controlled cuts.

Inspired by Japanese knife design while maintaining the versatility expected from a Western chef’s knife, this profile offers exceptional balance, agility, and everyday performance in the kitchen.

Constructed from superior USA Hi-Carbon Stainless Steel, our full-tang Vintage blades are cut, ground, polished and sharpened in our Massachusetts facilities. Handle scales of Walnut or Midnight (Black G-10) are assembled to the blades with brass or nickel-silver rivets and then the knives are meticulously finished and sharpened.

The Vintage Series features updated ergonomically friendly hand-finished Walnut or Midnight (Black G-10) handles that have a traditional, timeless look and feel. The sleek integrated bolster allows for a traditional or pinch-grip. The brass rivets complement the Walnut handle, while the nickel-silver rivets complement the Midnight handle and accents the stainless-steel blade.

Features

• Signature craftsmanship. Meticulously formed in our Massachusetts facilities, each of our knives is finished to perfection using state-of-the-art technology coupled with hand finishing as well as proprietary polishing and sharpening processes.
• Unmatched quality. Blades are formed from superior USA Hi-Carbon Stainless Steel. Knives come with a choice of sleek and sturdy handles of Walnut or Midnight (Black-G-10).
• Durable design. Our blades are precision laser cut and tempered to a hardness of 58 on the Rockwell scale. This results in a hard, wickedly sharp blade that retains an edge for longer and is both highly corrosion resistant and elastic.
• Superior cutting performance. Full tang blades with double brass or nickel-silver riveted handles ensure ideal balance and weight. Our combination machine and hand-sharpening processes ensures a consistently sharp and durable edge.
• Superior ergonomic handling. A curved and recessed integrated bolster provides a seamless transition from handle to blade, resulting in comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety. If you use a traditional or advanced “pinch-grip”, you will love the feel and function of these knives.
