7" Santoku Chef Knife
When you think ‘Japanese Chef Knife’ you most likely picture a Santoku Chef Knife. And at long last, we’re proud to offer one. 
 
The Santoku was created based on the classically popular Nakiri knife, but with an added degree of versatility. Based around the height and mostly flat cutting edge of the Nakiri, the Santoku adds a ‘Sheeps Foot’ tip which curves downward and gives you more function beyond just vegetables. 
 
The name "santoku" translates to "three virtues" in Japanese, referring to its ability to excel at cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. This versatility, combined with its balanced weight distribution and shorter length compared to Western chef's knives, quickly made the santoku knife a popular choice for home cooks and professional chefs alike. It is one of the most commonly found knives in kitchens across Japan. 
 
Immerse yourself in the versatility of our meticulously crafted 7" Santoku Knife. Designed for perfect balance, ease of use, and maximum performance, this knife excels at handling a wide variety of kitchen tasks, making it a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs alike.
