Just as versatile as a traditional chef’s knife, the Santoku Knife is also known as a Japanese chef’s knife. The Pro Series 7 Inch Kullens Santoku, has a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat. The kullens are the semi-circular hollows on either side of the blade which reduce adhesion and ease the cutting and separation of meats, cheese and vegetables. The stamped blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife.

Care
Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent; rinse and dry immediately.
Do not place in dishwasher.
Avoid cleaners containing bleach or citrus extracts.
Have been using a santoku knife for at least 40 years. This is basically the Japanese version of a chefs knife. The style is quite versatile. The blade has a nice curve for working with fruit and vegetables. You can get a nice mince if you want. This knife is a bit lighter and the blade a bit thinner than it looks on the site. The balance is blade heavy. The handle is comfortable.
