The Misen 8" Santoku Knife is built around AUS-10 Japanese high-carbon stainless steel, hardened to 58±2 HRC for a blade that holds a sharp 15° edge through repeated use. Its straighter edge profile encourages an efficient up-and-down chopping motion — making quick work of vegetables, boneless proteins, and herbs — while the ergonomic sloped bolster keeps your grip natural during longer prep sessions. At 7.5 inches of blade length and just 0.5 lb, it's light enough to maneuver precisely without sacrificing authority.
The durable POM handle resists moisture and bacteria, and care is straightforward: hand wash, dry immediately, and plan on sharpening every four to six months. If you'd rather leave the sharpening to the pros, Misen's mail-in sharpening service starts at $11 per knife. For tasks that call for more delicate control — peeling, trimming, or segmenting citrus — the 3.5" Paring Knife pairs naturally with this santoku as a two-knife everyday setup. If your cutting rotation also includes crusty bread or tomatoes, the Serrated Knife rounds out the core trio without any overlap in function.
