Description

The blade of the classic Japanese chef’s knife is shaped with a longer straight edge, making it especially excellent for up-and-down chopping. Prepping peppers, zucchini, kale or carrots becomes such a joy, you might finally get more veggies into your diet!

We updated our Blue and Red colors in November 2023 with a more vibrant finish that will give any kitchen a pop of color with a timeless quality.

Why It's Great

  • Japanese AUS-10 Steel: We use it because of its ultra-high carbon content. This means it stays sharper and holds its edge longer than German steel – so cutting is easier and way safer. And you won’t need to sharpen it as often, so it requires less maintenance than other high end knives. 
  • Ergonomic, Sloped Bolster: Designed to naturally guide your hand to the most comfortable and safe grip.
  • Cool Handle Design + Material: Wood cracks and breeds germs. Plastic is slippery and doesn’t last. Our handles are crafted from POM, a thermoplastic known for strength and comfort. And the shape is as ergonomic as it is cool looking. Win, win! 
  • Rockwell Scale: This is a nerdy steel rating – the ideal range is 58-60. Lower, the knife will be soft, hence, inefficient; higher, the knife could be prone to chipping. Ours is 58. Just right.

What Makes Misen Great

The Misen Santoku Knife is made with premium AICHI AUS-10 steel.

Premium AUS-10 Steel

The Santoku Knife is made with AICHI AUS-10 steel, which offers an even better balance between lasting sharpness and durability with 2x the carbon content of some other “premium” knives.

The sloped bolster on the Misen Santoku knife provides more room for your fingers to form a proper "pinch grip".

Unique Sloped Bolster

Our unique sloped bolster pulls double duty: the sloped shape encourages a proper “pinch grip” for comfort and control, while the bolster’s placement creates better access to the full length of the blade.

The Misen Santoku Knife is cut at an acute 15 degree edge angle.

15° Blade Angles

While most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees, we use more acute 15 degree angles for a noticeably sharper cutting face.
