The Shape

The word "santoku" translates to "three virtues" which refers to slicing, dicing and chopping or meat, fish and vegetables depending on who you ask. Basically, the name implies the extreme versatility of the shape which is what has made it so popular in Japanese home kitchens. It is a nimble and compact knife that is great for smaller spaces or for people who find a large chefs knife to be a bit too much for their needs.

Knife Care (Stainless Steel)

• Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
• NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
• Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
• Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
