三徳包丁

The knife Japan reaches for first. The Santoku — literally "three virtues" — takes its name from its ability to handle meat, fish, and vegetables with equal precision. NAGOMI's Santoku brings that versatility together with a blade that stays sharp through daily use and a handle that disappears into the hand.

Made to be easy to maintain.
NAGOMI uses a single-layer steel construction — meaning the entire blade sharpens evenly and consistently, with no special technique or prior experience required. About 20 strokes on newspaper once or twice a month is enough to keep the edge performing. For anyone building confidence in the kitchen, this makes a meaningful difference.

Designed to protect your hand.
Where the blade meets the handle, NAGOMI incorporates a gentle inward curve at the bolster. This detail keeps the fingers naturally clear of the blade during extended cutting, reducing fatigue and the risk of accidental slips. A small design choice that makes daily cooking noticeably more comfortable. The seamless, rivet-flush handle removes any gap between the hand and the blade, no interruption, just control.

Care: Wipe dry after use. Sharpen with newspaper to maintain edge. Hand wash only.

Story

The Santoku is Japan's everyday knife, found in home kitchens across the country for over a century. NAGOMI's version is the result of years of refinement at Mitsuboshi Cutlery's workshop in Seki, all blades are inspected for sharpness before shipment. The steel is chosen not for hardness alone, but for resilience, a blade that stays true through years of daily cooking, and comes back to sharpness with minimal effort.
