A great mid level performance full carbon steel knife from Hitohira Japan. These knives run a little longer than most 210s with decent height for great finger clearance. The thickness is a lovely sweet spot, thin enough to cut well but not too thin.
Now available with 2 handle options, Ho Wood or Rosewood. Rosewood handles are taking much longer to produce at the moment and harder to obtain, ho wood is more likely to be in stock faster.

* High carbon steel kitchen knives will change colour over time and require a small amount of care to prevent surface rust.
Japanese Kitchen Knife | Santoku (Home Cook Knife)
Like it's larger cousin, the Gyuto, this is your go-to knife for any and all tasks within the kitchen. Generally Santoku knives are smaller in size than Gyuto, making them versatile in smaller home kitchens or for cooks with fledgling knife skills. Both styles of knife are multi-tasking machines that can be used for any and all cooking preparation tasks.
As is the case with most Japanese kitchen knives, the Santoku is thinner & lighter than other western chef knives, they are normally made from harder steel which can hold a sharper edge.
