Details:
A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife used for a wide range of cutting tasks, much like a chef’s knife. The name means “three virtues,” which is often interpreted as referring either to the three types of foods it handles well—vegetables, proteins, and fruit—or the three cutting styles it excels at: slicing, dicing, and chopping. The Shun Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku features hollow-ground indentations along the blade that reduce friction, allowing it to glide more easily through food. When first introduced, it was named “Kitchen Knife of the Year” by Blade magazine and is part of the Shun Classic line of contemporary cutlery. This range is known for its Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles, combining visual elegance with high performance. Each knife is crafted with a VG-MAX steel core for exceptional edge retention, clad in layered Damascus stainless steel that is ground and bead-blasted to reveal a flowing pattern. The result is a blade that is sharp, durable, corrosion resistant, and visually distinctive. The santoku is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, featuring a 7-inch (17.8 cm) blade with a hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel edge (32° inclusive), handcrafted in Japan.
