Is it the right knife?
The Haruta santoku. Slice, dice and mince.
A 7" VG10 Damascus blade, folded into 67 layers with a feather pattern, on an oval wooden handle — with its own wooden scabbard. The Japanese all-rounder — shorter and flatter than a gyuto, for clean, precise cuts.
- 7" (17.8cm) all-round blade for meat, fish and veg
- VG10 Japanese steel, 67-layer feather Damascus
- Oval wooden handle and solid wood scabbard
Best for
Choose the santoku if you want a lighter, more compact all-rounder. Its flatter edge suits straight up-and-down cuts, and it feels nimble in smaller hands and kitchens.
The steel
Why VG10 Damascus?
Every Haruta blade has a VG10 Japanese steel core wrapped in Damascus layers, so it takes a keen edge, holds it, and looks like nothing else in your kitchen.
-
67
Layers
Damascus steel folded around the core for strength, stain resistance and the feather pattern.
-
VG10
Japanese steel core
A high-carbon stainless steel prized for taking a fine edge and holding it.
-
12°
Edge angle
A finer edge than most Western knives, so it glides through food with less pressure.
-
1 of 1
Feather pattern
Each blade is hand-finished, so no two patterns are quite the same.

In your kitchen
Prep you’ll look forward to.
Herbs stay green, onions stop fighting back and soft tomatoes slice without a squash. Once you’ve cooked with a blade this fine, everything else feels blunt.

Good to know
Which Haruta knife should I start with?
Most people start with the 8" gyuto: it handles meat, fish and veg. Prefer something lighter and more compact? Choose the 7" santoku. Kitting out a whole kitchen? The 5-piece and 10-piece sets work out cheaper than buying the knives one by one.
Does it come with a scabbard?
Yes. Every Haruta knife comes with its own solid wood scabbard, so the edge stays protected in a drawer or on the move.
How long does delivery take?
Shipping is free worldwide on every order. Most orders arrive within 7–10 business days; remote areas can take a little longer.
What if it’s not right for me?
You have 180 days to return it, as long as it's complete, undamaged and in its original packaging.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Every Haruta knife is covered by our lifetime warranty.
