Review: Great knife - Hard japanese steel with an amazing look and performance. Sharp as a blade Review: Surprisingly pleased - I’ve been using this knife as my daily driver for a little over a year now and I love it! It looks good, feels good, has a nice edge and sharpness to it, if you properly maintain it. The knife does rust in some areas but that doesn’t bother me. I own many knives of all types and I still find myself favoring this one. It gets the job done. ## Features - 【Japanese Santoku Knife — Slicing, Dicing & Mincing Mastered】"Santoku" means three virtues in Japanese — slicing, dicing, and mincing. This 7-inch blade is purpose-engineered for precision vegetable prep, boneless protein, and herbs, with a hand-forged 3-layer composite blade featuring a 90Cr15MoV high carbon steel core hardened to 59±2 HRC. The multi-layer forging eliminates impurities and delivers consistent sharpness with excellent edge retention through months of daily use. - 【Natural Olive Wood Handle — Rarer Than Rosewood, Built to Last】While most Japanese knives at this price use rosewood or pakkawood, Ink Plums uses genuine olivewood — a denser, more visually striking hardwood prized for its rich grain patterns and warm golden tones. No two handles look alike. The octagonal shape gives you natural blade-angle awareness and a secure, fatigue-free grip whether you're mincing a pile of herbs or breaking down a full chicken. No paint, no chemical coating — food-safe by design. - 【Hand-Hammered Blade — Crafted for Performance and Artistry】The hand-hammered tsuchime surface creates micro air pockets between blade and food, reducing drag so thinly sliced vegetables and delicate proteins release cleanly rather than sticking mid-cut. Each hammer mark is a byproduct of traditional Japanese hand-forging — refining the steel, increasing structural integrity, and leaving a textured finish that makes every Ink Plums knife visually distinct from mass-produced alternatives. - 【Your Go-To Knife for Vegetables, Fish & Everyday Prep】The 7-inch santoku blade is the ideal size for daily kitchen work — long enough for larger vegetables, nimble enough for precise detail cuts. Paper-thin cucumber slices, julienned carrots, minced garlic and ginger, diced onions, sliced fish fillets — the 14–16° hand-polished edge on each side handles it all with minimal effort. At 2.5mm thin, it's noticeably lighter and more maneuverable than a standard 8-inch chef knife, making it a favorite for cooks who prefer Japanese-style precision. - 【A Gift That Stands Out — Elegant Packaging Included】Presented in a premium gift box featuring handcrafted calligraphy branding, this Ink Plums santoku knife makes a meaningful gift for birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, holidays, and housewarmings. The olivewood handle makes it as beautiful on display as it is in use. Backed by our 60-day free replacement guarantee — quality issues including rust or handle defects are covered, no questions asked. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09SDFGB2D | | Best Sellers Rank | #164,602 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #351 in Santoku Knives | | Blade Color | Silver | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 7 inches | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Material Type | Alloy Steel | | BladeLength | 7 inches | | Brand | Ink Plums | | Brand Name | Ink Plums | | Color | 7" Santoku Knife | | Construction Type | Forged | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 9 Reviews | | Handle Material | Olive Wood | | Item Length | 12.8 inches | | Manufacturer | Ink Plums | | Size | 7" Santoku Knife | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Plain - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** Ink Plums - **Color:** 7" Santoku Knife - **Handle Material:** Olive Wood ## Images ![Santoku Knife 7 Inch, Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife with Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle, Multipurpose Chef Knife for Slicing Dicing Mincing & Gift Box - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EM7di0kEL.jpg) ![Santoku Knife 7 Inch, Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife with Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle, Multipurpose Chef Knife for Slicing Dicing Mincing & Gift Box - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/914CcylkH8L.jpg) ![Santoku Knife 7 Inch, Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife with Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle, Multipurpose Chef Knife for Slicing Dicing Mincing & Gift Box - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mREXEKjAL.jpg) ![Santoku Knife 7 Inch, Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife with Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle, Multipurpose Chef Knife for Slicing Dicing Mincing & Gift Box - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oiSY2QbFL.jpg) ![Santoku Knife 7 Inch, Japanese Hand Forged High Carbon Steel Kitchen Knife with Natural Olive Wood Octagonal Handle, Multipurpose Chef Knife for Slicing Dicing Mincing & Gift Box - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yGnZwKd+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife *by D***N on January 10, 2026* Hard japanese steel with an amazing look and performance.
