Description

Introducing the Hayama 葉山 by Shimeru, a premium 7″ santoku knife that draws inspiration from the lush, forested hillsides of Japan's coastal retreat. The Hayama combines striking visual depth with exceptional cutting performance, forged for chefs and home cooks who demand both beauty and precision.

The blade is forged from 67 layers of premium Damascus steel with a VG10 cutting core, delivering outstanding 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 captivating blend of smoky resin and natural burl wood, creating depth and movement reminiscent of forest shadows at twilight. A decorative mosaic pin adds a refined accent, while the ergonomic Western-style grip provides comfort and secure control. Moisture-resistant and built for durability, this handle is designed to perform in the busiest kitchens.

At 7″, the Hayama 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 meals and ambitious culinary projects.

The Hayama 葉山 7″ Damascus Steel Santoku Japanese Chef Knife is crafted for those who appreciate artistry and performance in equal measure. A blade that brings depth, precision, and quiet elegance to your kitchen, the Hayama will inspire creativity with every cut.
