Zanmai Classic Black Damasus 18cm Santoku Knife

Information

Santoku is a cross between a cooking knife (gyuto) and a chopping knife (nakiri). The tip of the blade, which is directed downwards from the center of the knife, allows you to find a more stable support on the work surface and a larger cutting surface. Well suited for cutting and chopping meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. Santoku is a very popular utility knife in Japanese homes. Thanks to the wider blade, it is very convenient to use the santoku to lift chopped food from the cutting board to the pot.
