Shizu Hamono Shikisai Miyako Tall Ko-Santoku 120mm

About Shizu Shikisai Miyako- Shizu Hamono is a relatively “new” knife maker, established in 1959 in Seki by Masami Horibe, he grew in Seki city, the city of blacksmiths, and naturally became a craftsman.

The Shikisai Miyako is an elegant choice for both chefs and home cooks. AUS-8 stainless steel is low maintenance, keeps a great edge, and is more rugged than most Japanese steels. The 33-layer damascus finish makes for a stunning piece, finished with a weighty, confident pakkawood handle. Perfection!

About the Shape – Shallots, garlic, herbs, itty bitty diced onion and tomato, beef tartare… none can stand up to the small but mighty K0-Santoku. The relative flatness along the edge and its height makes it ideal for chopping, and its flat-out adorable size makes it easy to wield for cooks of all sizes.
