Noseto GAIJIN 180mm Santoku Sanmai VG-10 Ebony & Buffalo Horn Handle

Hand-Forged Excellence with a Striking Finish.

The Noseto GAIJIN 180mm Santoku is a precision-crafted all-purpose kitchen knife forged using 3-layer VG-10 stainless steel with a Sanmai construction. Hardened to 60±2 HRC and sharpened to a fine 12–15° edge, it delivers outstanding performance for slicing, chopping, and precise prep.

Distal Taper & Forged Texture.
Expertly ground with a distal taper, the blade gradually thins from spine to edge and heel to tip, ensuring better balance, speed, and control. Each blade bears a unique forging pattern, a visual signature of the handcrafting process. No two are exactly alike.

Original Forgo Black Finish.
The specially developed Forgo Black treatment enhances both durability and visual appeal. The matte forged texture adds grip when cutting, while giving the blade an elegant, understated look.

Elegant & Durable Handle.
The handle is made from premium ebony wood paired with a natural buffalo horn ferrule. It’s shaped for comfort and control, making extended use feel effortless.
