Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Aogami Super Custom Damascus Series FASD-3W Wa Santoku 165mm (6.4 inch, Octagonal Walnut Wood Handle)

Availability: Normally ships the same day


Our Fu-Rin-Ka-zan Aogami Super Custom Damascus Series knives are forged by Master Yamamoto. Based in Takefu City, Fukui Prefecture, this talented and passionate forge smith was the apprentice of, and is the successor to, the legendarily experienced forge smith Master Azai.

Master Yamamoto's custom hammer forging process brings out the maximum potential of the premier-quality Japanese Aogami Super  Carbon Steel blade core (HRc. 63-64), which is clad with a beautiful Damascus laminate that is made with alternating layers of Aogami Super steel and soft iron. Yamamoto’s trademark "Vortex Damascus" pattern it is clearly distinguishable from other Damascus patterns and it is also our favorite.

The high quality handles are made with Walnut Wood and have a black pakkawood ferrule. The comfortable octagonal handle shape allows precise control and provides authentic Japanese styling.

The tall blade and rounded nose / tip of the Santoku make it a versatile knife that is well suited to cutting meat, fish, or vegetables; Hence it’s name, which literally means “Three-purpose”. The Santoku is often recommended as a multi-purpose kitchen knife.

This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.

For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50/50 without problems. 

We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy the fine craftsmanship and its sharp edge of your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for a long time.

 

Important

This is the Carbon steel blade kitchen knife that can get rust and discolor easily, and requires extra care and attention to prevent rust.

  • Please do not put the knife in the dishwasher machine for cleaning.
  • Please do not leave the knife in water or wet condition for a long time.
  • *After using, please hand wash the blade, bolster and handle thoroughly, and wipe it clean and dry with soft clothes. Please apply Tsubaki oil on the blade and keep it in a dry place.
  • This is an extremely sharp knife. Please use special cares in using and storing it.
  • Unlike German made knives, Japanese knife blades are ground to thin cutting edge for sharper cutting and easier re-sharpening. Please protect the edge from hitting hard materials to avoid chipping or cracking.
  • Please do not use it to cut bone or frozen foods, any hard shell foods such as lobster and crab.
  • We recommend using Japanese whetstones to re-sharpen the knife, when it gets dull.

    My favorite knife!

    I have purchased two Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan Aogami Super Custom Damascus Series knives. The first was a Nakiri and the second is the Santoku. First, they are beautiful to look at. The damascus steel is a work of art. Secondly, the blade is so thin, it is surgically sharp right out of the box. It slices beautifully though all vegetables with minimal effort and great precsion. Simply put, this is the only knife I need (although I want them all!) and the first knife I reach for when prepping a meal.

    WOW! Outstanding edge retention, handling and beauty

    I have a modest collection of Japanese knifes in various shapes and steels, and this is my hands-down! favorite for multi-function every-day use. This is the one I reach for 90% of the time. The Aogami Super steel sharpened quickly to a razor edge (3000, 5000 + leather strop) and maintains the edge longer than any of my other knives in white and blue carbon steel. The 165mm size and santoku shape accommodate most everyday tasks in my home kitchen. The weight and balance is perfect from tip to heel and Master Yamamoto's Damascus layering, walnut handle and excellent overall finish is a huge bonus at an exceptional value. I’ve purchased several knives from JCK this past year, and I HIGHLY recommend JCK for excellent product assortment, detailed and accurate descriptions, lightening-quick shipping and outstanding reliable service. Thank you, Koki!
