Like a chef's knife, the santoku is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” Depending on who you ask, this refers either to the three types of foods it works especially well with — vegetables, proteins, and fruit, or for the three types of cuts at which it excels: slicing, dicing, and chopping. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, a santoku is very easy to maneuver—even in a smaller kitchen. There's plenty belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which enhances the knife's versatility. Whether slicing, chopping, mincing, or dicing, this comfortable knife will do it all.
The 5.8 inch blade is hand forged from 52100 carbon steel. 52100 is considered by many knifemakers and knife users to be among the highest performing steels used today. The blade features a hand rubbed satin finish. The spine and choil are nicely rounded for a comfortable grip.
The handle is hand contoured dyed and stabilized maple burl. It is beautifully sculpted for a secure, comfortable grip.
Exceptional work throughout!
