Santoku Chef Knife

The Santoku Chef Knife uses a traditional Japanese knife shape that has become the hottest thing in kitchen cutlery. The Santoku chef knife is a do it all kitchen knife for both the home and professional kitchen. The dimple grinds on the Santoku chef knife help slice meats and vegetables paper thin (without) tearing them.  They also help keep food fom sticking to the side of the blade. Add a touch of beauty to the kitchen with the kitchen knives Fine Cooking Magazine described as 'Knife Art.' The Fusionwood Santoku was featured in In Style Magazine and Saveur's 2011 edition of The Saveur 100.

'Not only is this knife's handle beautiful, but the grip is solid, and the forge-welded blade makes me feel like I can achieve anything.' Alex Guarnaschelli, Saveur Magazine, Chef/Owner of Butter in NYC, host of Food Network's 'Alex's Day Off.

'...my latest love is a New West Knifeworks Fusionwood Santoku. This baby feels like a dream in my hands, it's sturdy, balanced and the wood handle- a piece of art.'   Jaden Hair, Food writer, Steamy Kitchen. 'Daytime' regular ABC, CBS, NBC.

'...a functional piece of art for the kitchen.' Andrea Meyers, 2008 Food Blog Award finalist. Read this review.

'I have been using Wusthof trident knives professionally for 20 years (very happily), and I have always sworn by them and recommended them to others. I never thought I would find a knife that would potentially replace them in my kitchen....now when I travel to train a team, I bring a New West Knifeworks knife or two and give them as prizes for those who do the best job.' Tim Scott, Executive Chef, Macy's. Read more pro reviews.

Each knife comes in an embossed leather sheath.
