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
- A thin grind cuts easily but is not made for hard or frozen food, bones or twisting in the cut.
Written from this knife's catalog record (steel, handle, length, grind). Knife Fit has not tested it; see how we work.
