Compact Versatility. 67-Layer Damascus Steel. Hand-Finished in Norfolk.

The 5" Santoku is the ultimate compact all-rounder for quick, precise prep. Its shorter blade and flatter cutting edge make it incredibly agile for rapid chopping, dicing, and mincing on smaller boards where a full sized chef's knife feels like overkill. The Worstead range bridges the gap between premium Japanese aesthetics and rugged Western reliability. It is built for the home cook who wants a beautiful, high-performing tool that can still take a beating on a busy Tuesday night, letting you stop wrestling with blunt steel and simply enjoy cooking again.

The Steel: 67-Layer Damascus At its core is Japanese AUS-10 steel. This hard cutting core takes a razor-sharp edge and holds onto it through heavy daily use. It is wrapped in 67 layers of folded Damascus steel, which doesn't just look striking on a magnetic rack, the softer layers of cladding steel help the knife with improved stainless and shock absorbing qualities.

The Handle: Heavy-Duty G10 The Worstead handles have a classic, triple-riveted Western profile for uncompromising leverage and comfort. The handle is machined from G10, a dense resin laminate that simply does not care about hot water, acidic juices, or the general mess of a busy kitchen. It fills the palm naturally and locks in securely, preventing any blade twist when your hands are wet.

The Norvic Difference: Hand-Finished in Norfolk A premium santoku knife needs an edge you can trust straight out of the box. That is why we finish this blade in-house. We refine the factory edge on our water-cooled Tormek system, hone it, and polish it with 1-micron diamond suspension. This creates an edge that bites instantly and glides effortlessly through ingredients with zero sawing required.
