Shun Classic 7 Santoku Knife

The Japanese santoku knife, like a chef's knife, is a versatile tool that can handle a variety of cutting tasks in the kitchen. Its name, "three virtues," reflects its ability to excel with vegetables, proteins, and fruit. With a slightly shorter length than a standard chef's knife, the santoku is easy to handle, making it perfect for smaller kitchens. The curved belly of the blade allows for rocking cuts, adding to its versatility.

Part of the Shun Classic line, this santoku knife is designed to effortlessly handle any cutting task, from chopping and mincing to dicing and slicing. Its unique design falls somewhere between a chef's knife and a cleaver, featuring a wide 6-1/2 inch blade. This high-quality knife can chop nuts with as much ease as it can slice fruit.

Crafted with precision in Japan by the esteemed blade manufacturer KAI, Shun knives have a history of 90 years of superior craftsmanship. The santoku knife is made with a VG-10 "super steel" core that is wrapped in 16 layers of high-carbon stainless steel, giving it a rust-free Damascus appearance. The Damascus detailing not only adds to the knife's aesthetic appeal but also prevents food from sticking and maintains the integrity of delicate ingredients.

The handle of the santoku knife is made from a blend of hardwood veneers and resin, forming a comfortable D-shaped grip. A stainless-steel bolster protects the knuckles, while a steel end-cap completes the design. While dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the knife's longevity. This product also comes with a lifetime warranty.

This 7-inch santoku knife from Seki City, Japan is the ultimate tool for chopping, mincing, dicing, and slicing in the kitchen. Its precision-forged high-carbon stainless-steel blade retains a sharp edge, while the durable Pakkawood handle and offset steel bolster ensure comfort and control during use. Experience the excellence of Japanese craftsmanship with this multipurpose santoku knife.
