What is a Suminagashi San Mai Santoku Knife? Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese art of ink marbling, and when applied to knife making, it refers to the beautiful, wavy patterns created in the steel. San Mai, meaning “three layers,” refers to the construction method where a hard steel core is sandwiched between two layers of softer steel. Santoku, translating to “three virtues,” signifies the knife’s versatility in slicing, dicing, and chopping. This combination results in a knife that is not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable and sharp. The hard steel core maintains a razor-sharp edge, while the softer outer layers provide flexibility and prevent the knife from becoming brittle.

The hard core steel (usually high-carbon or VG-10) ensures a sharp, long-lasting edge, while the outer layers add toughness and resilience.
