The thin taper (or blade thickness) is lengthened to give it maximum precision when slicing. The 7" Santoku Knife is one of the worlds most popular knives.The spine runs parallel to the relatively flat cutting edge, which has a bolsterless heel and only curves near the tip to create a broad bladed knife similar in shape to a cleaver.
