He mastered the art in four short years apprenticing under Kazuomi Yamamoto of Yoshikane and got to work making his own knives. Working completely solo in a rather chaotic workshop a la Doc Brown, he produces gorgeous blades with excellent fit and finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Migaki series features a thick spine with a gorgeous taper, allowing the knife to be both razor-sharp and fairly durable for a Japanese blade. The shirogami #2 steel core is capable of legendary sharpness, and an outer layer of stainless steel makes them easier to maintain. Combine that with an octagon rosewood handle, and you've got one stunning blade!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Shape -\u003c\/b\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 their unique shape and smaller easy-to-handle size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toshihiro Wakui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589692059822,"sku":"WKW2SMI165SA","price":223.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/9439\/files\/wakui-shirogami-migaki-santoku-165-1.jpg?v=1708462457","url":"https:\/\/knifewear.mom\/en-de\/products\/toshihiro-wakui-shirogami-stainless-migaki-santoku-165mm","provider":"Knifewear - Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
