A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. Like a chef's knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means "three virtues". Depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well with - vegetables, proteins, and fruit - or for the three types of cuts at which it excels - slicing, dicing, and chopping.
The Seki Magoroku Shiraai knives have a slim blade that is compact and easy to work with. The blade is teated with a special chamfering process making it smoother which helps reduce the friction against the food and blade.
The handle is shaped for a comfortable stable fit with a stylish and elegant look. The White Pakkawood is also durable. It is full tang for superior robustness, preventing your hand from fatigue under prolonged use.
