What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Santoku knives of this 170mm length are a mid size that suits smaller boards and kitchens.
- It has a Western-style (yo) handle, the kind most cooks outside Japan are used to.
- R2/SG2 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 all-rounder with a flatter edge, made for push-cutting vegetables, meat and fish. R2/SG2 is stainless: it resists rust better than carbon steel, which makes it an easy choice for everyday cooking. The Western handle has the familiar heft and grip of a European chef's knife.
