The Holkham 7” Santoku: The Daily Driver

Santoku translates directly to "three virtues"—meat, fish, and vegetables. It is designed to dominate all three. If you only want to reach for one knife to handle 90% of your daily board work, this is the blade you pull from the block.

The Holkham 7” Santoku is our uncompromising answer to the ultimate kitchen workhorse. No delicate mechanics. Just brutal efficiency and an edge finished using 1 micron abrasive.

The Workhorse Steel

A daily driver needs to take a beating. We forged the Holkham range from German X50 Premium Stainless Steel, hardened to exactly 56 HRC. This hits the perfect metallurgical sweet spot for a busy prep station: incredible toughness and heavy stain resistance. At 56 HRC, the edge won't micro-chip when you drive it through a tough winter squash or catch a bone, and it touches right back up to a blindingly sharp edge with a few passes on a strop.

Geometry & Control

A blade is useless if you can't control it. The Holkham features a heavy stainless steel bolster and signature triple-riveting to perfectly center the balance point right at your pinch grip. The flatter edge profile and dropped tip of the Santoku shape are specifically engineered for aggressive, rhythmic downward push-cuts. No sawing, no tearing. Just decisive, frictionless prep.

The Specifications

• The Profile: 7-inch traditional Santoku. Built for rapid push-cutting across meat, fish, and veg.

• The Steel: German X50 Premium Stainless. Highly stain and rust-resistant.

• The Hardness: 56 HRC. Engineered for maximum toughness and chip resistance.

• The Handle: Classic, durable Pakka Wood, triple-riveted for a locked-in grip even with wet hands.

• The Edge: Meticulously hand-sharpened to a devastating 15-degree angle.

• The Protection: Ships with a hard plastic blade cover to protect the edge from the absolute warzone that is your kitchen drawer.

The Norvic Rule: This is a precision instrument. Hand-wash and dry it immediately. Putting a Pakka Wood handle and a 15-degree edge in a dishwasher is a crime we will not forgive.

Mind your fingers

About the finish: 1 micron refers to the size of the diamond abrasive used during finishing. It is not a measurement of the finished cutting edge.
