Santoku Knives

Santoku knives – the three virtues from Japan

The Santoku knife (三徳包丁, ‘knife of three virtues’) is a traditional all-purpose knife from Japan. Its name stands for versatility: meat, fish and vegetables can be cut with particular precision using this blade shape. No wonder that today it is indispensable not only in Japanese kitchens, but also among ambitious amateur chefs and semi-professionals worldwide.

A characteristic feature of a Santoku is its wide, comparatively short blade. It is light and well-balanced in the hand. With a Santoku knife, you can effortlessly cut fine slices and chop ingredients. The flat cutting edge supports an even cutting motion, while our damask steel with its typical grain ensures extreme sharpness (62 ±2 HRC), long durability and a unique look.

A Santoku knife combines function, tradition and aesthetics. It will quickly become the centrepiece of your kitchen.

Application of the Santoku knife

The Santoku knife really comes into its own when it comes to vegetables: finely chopping herbs, cutting carrots into thin julienne strips or dicing onions evenly can all be done precisely and effortlessly. At the same time, it is versatile enough to be used for cutting meat or fish into wafer-thin slices.

 

Difference to ‘western’ cooking knives

While Western cooking knives often have a more curved cutting edge that supports rocking when cutting, the blade of the Santoku is almost straight and has only a slightly rounded tip. This results in a different movement: instead of rocking, you make precise, linear cuts.

The width of the blade also makes it easy to pick up and transport food – a detail that many chefs quickly appreciate.
