Olive Wood Santoku Knife

Santoku in Japanese means three virtues. The Japanese Santoku knife is perfect for three things; cutting, slicing and chopping. The "Olive Wood Santoku Knife" has divets along the edge which help keep food from getting stuck to the blade. It is forged by hand from the finest steel and olive wood. You will appreciate the soft and elegant feel of the olive wood in your hand as you prep your favorite foods. The handle is cut to lay perfectly in the cook's hand with just the right weight balance. 

Each knife comes in a handmade wooden box. It is a perfect gift for you or for the cook in your life.  During the holiday season these knives can take up to 4 weeks to ship.

Cutting with a knife of this quality is nothing short of a luxury. The Fontani family has been masterfully making knives by hand for over 200 years. It is in their blood and bones. They know exactly how to curve a knife handle so it is a pleasure to use it, they understand the importance of quality to ensure they create legacy pieces. They make each knife by hand in the town of Scarperia where knife making has been a tradition for centuries.
