What to know before you buy
About this knife
- Santoku knives of this 165mm 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.
- SLD is semi-stainless: it resists rust better than carbon steel but is not stain-proof.
- 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. SLD is semi-stainless: it holds an edge a long time and only needs wiping dry after use. The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
