About this shape
Santoku, which means ‘three virtues’ in Japanese, is an all-purpose knife with a taller blade profile than a gyuto. Its three virtues are the knife’s ability to cut fish, meat, and vegetables. Santoku knives have a flatter ‘belly’ than gyuto and can be used comfortably with an up and down chopping motion rather than a ‘rocking’ type cut.
Why we love them: The Sakai Takayuki 45 Layer Damascus Santoku is an all-around great knife and its Damascus steel construction looks extremely beautiful, while maintaining precision and superior edge retention. Sakai Takayuki Santoku kitchen knives offer versatile functionality and are a perfect choice if you've never used a wa-handled knife before.
