  • Every order ships with a free SLK MRKT TOTE, a care guide, tissue wrapping, and a paper sheath — everything you need, nothing you don't.

  • Each handle is made of 100% reclaimed plastic, diverted from landfill and transformed through heat and pressure into a handle of considered durability.

    The material retains its history. Colour and pattern vary with each piece, a consequence of process, not design. No two handles are identical.

    Waste, given a second life.

  • Forged in Vietnam, where every blade is shaped by hand by highly skilled craftsmen.

    The santoku is your everyday blade: balanced, precise, and built for everything from fine slicing to heavier prep.

    Made from American 52100 high carbon steel, it takes a razor sharp edge and holds it.

  • Hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher.

    This is high carbon steel, so it will rust if left wet. Give it a quick wipe after each use and store it dry.

    Over time, your blade will build a patina: a natural darkening that comes with carbon steel. It’s not a defect. It actually helps protect the blade from rust.

    Everything you need to keep your knife in top shape is in our Care Guide.

  • Blade Length — 165mm
    Thickness — 2mm
    Weight — 130g
