Santoku 18 cm

The Santoku is the Japanese counterpart of the European chef's knife. Translated Santoku means "three virtues" and can be used in this sense for fish, meat and vegetables. Optically the Santoku reminds of a chopping knife, therefore it is not suitable for chopping. Its high, stocky blade is sharpened on both sides and is ideal for voluminous cuttings such as vegetables. The wide blade also makes it easy to transport the cuttings into the pot or bowl.
