Hattori FH Series Santoku 170mm

The Hattori FH Series knife is available in very small batches to ensure a high level of quality and productivity. Every detail in the design and manufacture was taken into account thanks to a special heat treatment process, a handle with contour and balance, ergonomics and profile of each knife.

The blade is made of cobalt steel VG-10 (HRC60 to 61). Despite the fact that this is a simple design, we can feel that the detailed work of Hattori is a high level of skill from a thinly pointed and polished blade.

For the material of the handle, the master Hattori chose the Cocobolo tree, which has a light brown color with unique and beautiful natural wood textures. Hattori's beautiful custom hand-made process can be seen in his well-defined and perfect shape.

Mr. Hattori believes that comfortable and well-balanced handles are just as important as good blades, so he pays particular attention to details not only in appearance, but also in the durability from cracks and shrinkage that can occur in a wide range of uses of these natural materials . Before assembling and forming the handle plates, each selected wooden block is stabilized in the cooking wax for 3 hours and then cut into two parts to match the wood patterns on both sides. In fact, when I first saw and grabbed it in my hand, I felt something warm and comfortable feeling of touch with this hand-made wooden handle.

A high blade and a round nose / tip Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited for cutting meat, fish or vegetables; Therefore, it is a name that literally means “tri-purpose.” Santoku is often recommended as a versatile kitchen knife.
