He’s also a certified badass, forging in flip-flops and lighting cigarettes off red-hot steel like an 80’s action hero. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Shape - \u003c\/strong\u003eThis is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout Masashi Kemuri - \u003c\/b\u003eMasashi-san makes a beautifully polished and crazy sharp blade, working entirely by himself hand-forging, sharpening, and putting on the handles. He’s also a bit of a risk taker, forging knives in his flip-flops and lighting cigarettes off white-hot knife steel. Bad. Ass. The unassuming Kemuri series is an extremely hard worker thanks to the power of SLD stainless steel, which stays sharp like carbon steel but doesn't rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/59sx_t4JrXg\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masashi Yamamoto","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":4370924732444,"sku":"GSMAKWCSLD165SA","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/MasashiKemuriSantoku165mm1.jpg?v=1791480186","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.live\/en-gb\/products\/masashi-kemuri-sld-wa-chestnut-santoku-165mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
