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.
  • 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 all-rounder with a flatter edge, made for push-cutting vegetables, meat and fish. VG-10 is stainless: it resists rust better than carbon steel, which makes it an easy choice for everyday cooking. The Japanese wa handle is light and puts the balance toward the blade.
