What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Santoku knives of this 180mm length are a mid size that suits smaller boards and kitchens.
- It has a Japanese-style (wa) handle: a handle without a metal bolster, set into the blade with a hidden tang.
- VG-10 is a stainless steel, which resists rust better than carbon steel.
- It is double-bevel (sharpened on both sides), so it works for left- and right-handed cooks.
Limits to know
- Like any hard Japanese blade, keep it off bones, frozen food and glass or stone boards.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
Good to know for beginners
A santoku is a compact, flat all-rounder with a rounded tip that is easy to control on a smaller board. VG-10 is stainless, so it shrugs off a wet board. The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
