Shibamasa V5 Damascus Santoku 170mm is a versatile kitchen knife with a core of stainless VG-5 steel and a Damascus pattern. The thin blade gives precise, light cuts, well suited to meat, fish and vegetables in everyday use.
Shibamasa is a knife brand from Seki with a long history in blade making. Their V5 series is light, balanced chef's and vegetable knives, with and without a Damascus pattern, that give a lot of Japanese quality for the money.
All knives from ShibamasaSantoku is a Japanese all-purpose knife. The name means 'three uses': meat, fish and vegetables.
The blade is slightly wider than on a gyuto or a Western chef's knife, so there is room for large vegetables. The tip gives the edge a larger contact surface, and the knife cuts well with a push cut.
Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.

I got this wonderful knife as a gift from my girlfriend and it really levelled up my experience with knives. The first thing I tried to chop was an onion and I couldn’t stop enjoying the chopping process :) it chopped the onion like butter 🧈. I’m looking forward to use it more and more. Thanks!
Jeg kjøpte SHIBAMASA V5 Damascus Santoku 170 mm etter anbefaling – perfekt valg for en matentusiast som meg! Kniven er passe stor, skarp og ligger godt i hånda. Knivbeskytteren på 215 mm passet helt perfekt. Rask levering og topp kvalitet. Anbefales 👍
