Description: This santoku was designed by celebrity chef Alton Brown. By angling the handle upwards 10 degrees, you can hold the handle while having finger clearance over a cutting board. Not only does this angle keep your knuckles from getting in the way, but the natural curve created between the blade and your arm makes controlling the blade easier and more precise. The Santoku is the traditional Japanese chefs knife. This comfortable design makes the Shun classic Santoku knife a fantastic multipurpose chopper. The Santoku style has quickly become the new favorite for chefs in the West.
