The Santoku knife 18 cm Tojiro Flash is a hybrid style of knife combining some characteristics of a gyuto and a nakiri. 

Excellent at vegetable work, santokus are also a multi-purpose blade that many chefs use in the place of a gyuto.
Indeed, this pattern is accessible and easy to use for the vast majority of daily cutting requirements.

The elegant Tojiro Flash series features a blade that has a folded and forged construction of 63 layers of Damascus steel.
This process allows the thin center layer of VG-10 steel to be extremely hard & sharp but the blade retains flexibility & strength. 

With a VG10 steel cutting core and and a softer stainless steel alloy clad, Tojiro Flash knives are super sharp at 61+/-1 HRC Rockwell and hold their edge for a long period of time.

The Micarta handle is inlayed with stainless steel for a stunning appearance.
Micarta is a revolutionary new handle material that is made from linen and synthetic resin compounded by extreme amounts of pressure and heat creating a wood-like grain and feel with the absolute ultimate in durability. 

Tojiro Flash knives are full tang and have a special diagonal bolster (Tsuba) which adds extra equivalence and weight.
