The Santoku 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 from sticking to the side of the blade. The Santoku is the ultimate balance of Eastern and Western knife design.
