TLDR ⓘ - Too long; didn't read - A quick summary that cuts to the chase.
One of our top knives for both new cooks and giving as a gift. The line combines looks, comfort and performance making it really accessible for everyone!

About Haruyuki Goma -  Haruyuki knives are beloved among professionals and home cooks alike for their reliable, high-performance blades. they’re perfect for folks buying their first Japanese knife, and the performance is impressive enough for knife nerds like me to get a thrill from using it!

The Haruyuki Goma is one we’ve had since the early days of Knifewear, and it continues to be a staff and customer favourite. The stainless steel blade is made from a material called VG10, which is super sharp and easy to care for. This stunning blade sports a hammered ‘tsuchime’ finish that transitions to a polished bevel with layers of damascus steel. The effect is like waves crashing on a rocky beach under the moonlight. 

Haruyuki knives are made in a way that combines ancient Japanese tradition with efficient modern technology: blades are forged by machine for unparalleled precision, consistency, and affordability. Skilled artisans complete each step lovingly, from polishing and sharpening the blade to affixing its handle. 

About the Shape - This 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.

Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

STORING  

• Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

• The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.

Reviews

Perfect Japanese knife!!

"I bought it for my boyfriend birthday gift. He has been wanting to get a Japanese knife. The staff recommended it, the knife is perfect size 7 inch, good fit for your hand, and so sharp that it can cut papers and thin slice tomato. The design is also beautiful. My boyfriend loved it, and it’s worth to pay. I’m working at a high end sushi restaurant, and the Japanese sushi chef also recommended, $200 - $300 for your lifetime knives is affordable price. I highly recommend! :)"

"A practical knife that's super lightweight and easy to care for. I chose the Haruyuki Goma Santoku initially for its beautiful and interesting blade, and gave it as a gift to my husband who loves to cook. He uses this knife daily for chicken, beef and vegetables, and always remarks how nice it is to use each time he prepares a meal with it."

Great knife

"Well made and a joy to use. We've used it almost daily for light use (mostly fruits and vegetables) for around 6 months without any perceivable change to the edge sharpness."

my favorite

"I got this over a year ago. I like to wait before writing a review. The first thing that struck me was how beautiful it is. Both the handle and the blade are stunning--and they remain that way. The knife is amazingly sharp and easy to keep that way. I like the feel in my hand, especially the proximity of the blade to the handle, making the pinch grip quite comfortable."

— Bill E. (5/5)

Q&A

This knife indicates 180mm Santoku in the title and 80mm Petty in the data breakdown. Is it safe to assume the latter is a typo?
Oops! Definitely a Santoku.
