Description

Asuka 飛鳥 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife 三徳包丁

Introducing the Asuka 飛鳥 by Shimeru, a premium 7″ santoku knife that captures the splendour of Japan's ancient imperial era. With its striking black resin and gold flake handle, the Asuka is forged for those who seek opulence and precision in equal measure.

The blade is forged from 67 layers of premium Damascus steel with a VG10 cutting core, delivering exceptional sharpness, durability, and edge retention. The intricate wave pattern across the blade is unique to each knife, a hallmark of traditional Damascus craftsmanship. The hammered tsuchime finish reduces friction and prevents food from clinging, ensuring clean, effortless cuts through vegetables, proteins, and delicate ingredients alike.

The handle is a statement of luxury, crafted from deep black resin embedded with shimmering gold flakes that catch the light with every movement. No two handles are identical, making each Asuka a truly unique piece. The ergonomic Western-style grip provides a secure, comfortable hold, while a decorative mosaic pin adds a refined finishing touch. Moisture-resistant and built for durability, this handle performs beautifully in the busiest kitchens.

At 7″, the Asuka santoku excels at the three essential cuts—slicing, dicing, and mincing. Its wide blade profile allows for easy scooping and transfer of ingredients, while the balanced weight provides agile, confident handling for both everyday meal preparation and ambitious culinary creations.

The Asuka 飛鳥 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Knife is crafted for chefs who appreciate artistry and grandeur. A blade that brings golden elegance and flawless performance to your kitchen, the Asuka will transform every cooking session into an occasion.
