In Japan, the santoku knife is the equivalent of the classic all-purpose kitchen knife in European kitchens and is used for almost everything. Its shape, weight and grind make it exceptionally versatile, suitable for rocking cuts and chopping herbs as well as slicing vegetables and fruit or preparing fish and meat. The sharp 17-centimetre blade with its fluted edge allows precise to wafer-thin cuts without food sticking, while the coloured handle made from high-quality special synthetic material with brass rivets sits comfortably and securely in the hand. This premium santoku knife is sure to earn a permanent place in your kitchen, always close at hand.
