The medullary rays of the thousands of years old bog oak shine through the handle of the Santoku. Only the smell reveals the natural and ecologically sustainable stabilization with larch and spruce resin against moisture and odors. The cross-satin-finished tin bronze forms the centerpiece between the San Mai 3LN blade and the East Style oval handle executed as a true ferrule. The diffusion zone between the cladding material and the cutting layer of the blade allows insight into the traditional forging process.
