Santoku knife with elm wood handle

The Santoku knife is short and thick, with a slight curve to its belly and a pointed tip. By hand forging layered steel-clad blue paper steel, the blade is laminated, revealing its layers in a gentle, marble-like pattern and showing glimpses of the dark grey beneath. The elm wood handle, a sandy golden colour, is striped and flecked with darker hues of amber and chestnut.
