Santoku Knife

The Santoku knife, originating from Japan, is prized for its versatility and precision. Its wide blade and slightly curved edge make it particularly adept at handling tasks such as slicing meats, chopping vegetables, and mincing herbs. This is because the Granton edge reduces friction and prevents food from sticking, ensuring smooth cutting. Moreover, the Santoku’s thinner blade and balanced weight distribution allow chefs to enjoy enhanced control and reduced fatigue during use. Whether slicing sashimi or mincing garlic, the Santoku knife delivers professional-quality results, making it a cherished tool in Japanese foods.
