AISI 420C
Chromium stainless steel, balance between hardness and corrosion resistance. The maison's standard for everyday use.
Where Pattada meets Japan.
The Santoku is the knife chefs ask for in work of precision: fine cuts, julienne, sashimi. Marked by a broad blade with a slight curve towards the tip.
We make it with a 20 cm blade, customisable to need, in stainless or Damascus steel and a handle in ram or mouflon horn, for a solid, robust grip.
The Santoku, in our language.

About this piece
How is a Giagu Santoku commissioned?
Every Santoku begins with a conversation. You write to the Giagu workshop describing the materials, the dimensions and the occasion, and the maison guides you through the configurations available. Lead time is six to twelve months from confirmation. Every finished piece comes with a paper certificate signed by the family.
Is the Santoku a numbered piece?
Every Giagu Santoku is engraved with the mouflon mark and the words GIAGU PATTADA. Each order carries its own number, identifying it in the maison's internal archive from 1985 onward. The mark, for its part, stays with the piece forever.
What is the warranty on the Santoku?
Every Giagu Santoku is guaranteed for ten years from the date of delivery. Sharpening is free for the lifetime of the knife, at the Pattada workshop or by post.
