After using the original Santoku for more than a year, tyered announced its newest revision. However, Gen 2 is a new design from the ground up keeping the original's spirit and goals intact.

Unfortunately, this design is not open source, but it comes with a detailed description of the concept and features, e.g.:

  • FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) connecting the halves.
  • Easily switch between split or unsplit depending on your situation.
  • Tightly integrated trackpoint with mouse buttons on both sides and a real usable mouse scroll wheel.
  • Very low profile. Portable. Easily fits in a work bag.
  • Custom, recessed, no-slip pads on the bottom.
