Santoku - Green Maple Burl

A Japanese kitchen classic with a western twist. This Santoku has a double bevel edge (western style) and will suit a left or right handed person. The handle is a traditional 'Wa' style with bolster (front) in black paper micarta a stabilized green Maple burl handle with green fibre liners. The Maple wood has been stabilized and dyed in-house. The stabilizing process impregnates the wood with an extremely durable resin - this makes the wood virtually impervious warping or cracking, water resistant and a lot more hard-wearing than natural wood.
