The word Santoku (meaning 'three virtues') is used for chopping, dicing and mincing. Sporting a unique styling, somewhat like a narrow-bladed cleaver, the Santoku knife is designed with a comfortable, well-balanced grip, while allowing for full blade use. Santoku knives are best known for their sharp edges and now feature a granton edge on the blade that not only adds style, but helps prevent food from sticking after slicing. 6.75” / 17cm.
