This Lilienstahl Santoku is forged out of a 320 layer Damascus-steel and finished with a snakewood handle.

Snakewood is a true gem of nature. Its extraordinary grain, reminiscent of the smooth movements of a snake, gives it an unparalleled aesthetic. The deep, warm hues range from rich brown to dark, almost black shades, interspersed with fine, lighter lines. This natural pattern makes every piece of snakewood unique.

The uniqueness of snakewood lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its exceptional hardness and density. These characteristics give it remarkable durability and resilience, making it ideal for creating long-lasting and robust knife handles.

Even the fine natural cracks and inclusions in the snakewood, which are sealed by skilful stabilization with resins, blend harmoniously into the overall picture and underline the unique nature of this special wood.

Our snakewood comes from responsible sources, so you can enjoy it with a clear conscience.
