## Description

Seki Sonroku Damascus Santoku 6.5 inches (165 mm) #000AE5200 Kai Stamp

Review: Great value for money - Really sharp knife, great value find and alternate to the more expensive Japanese knives
Review: Good knife for the price, but it isn't not perfect. - Made by the same company that makes my Shun knives. Having said that, it isn't a Shun. The Damascus appears to be just a design etched into the steel. The handle has a few rough spots. It is also a thinner blade than my Shuns. But if you can't afford to pay twice as much for a great Seki City Japanese knife, this will do. The shape and size are very functional. It will cut, chop and slice.
