What a cook's knife is for European kitchens, the Santoku is for Japan and the whole of Asia: so versatile in shape, weight and edge that it can be used for mincing and chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit as well as for preparing fish and meat. The sharp blade of a Santoku allows anything from regular to wafer-thin cuts - it is therefore now indispensable in kitchens all around the world. Product Highlights: Blade length: 17cm Blade width: 5.68cm Elegant geometry gives a balanced weight distribution which makes each knife comfortable to hold. With a full tang and innovative handle material that is ergonomically shaped with perfect texture.
