Stainless Steel Santoku knife 18 cm

The Santoku knife, often referred to as the Japanese equivalent of a chef’s knife, combines precision and versatility in a sleek design. Its blade is similar to a carving knife but with key differences that make it unique. Unlike the carving knife, where the tip remains in contact with the cutting board for a smooth rocking motion, the Santoku functions more like a small cleaver, with the tip lifting off the surface during use. This design is perfect for chopping, dicing, and mincing with ease. The straight edge ensures clean cuts without rocking, making it ideal for slicing both raw and cooked foods. Pairing a Santoku knife with a dedicated cutting board for raw or cooked ingredients allows you to experience the distinct advantages of this Japanese-style blade while maintaining optimal hygiene in your kitchen.
