Combining features of a chefs knife and a cleaver, the Santoku is an all purpose Asian-style knife that's ideal for cutting meat, fish and vegetables. The word "santoku" means"three good things"- a reference to the three cutting tasks it performs so well: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The Santoku is designed with kullens, ot indentations along it's edges, which reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade. The knife also serves as a spatula as you cut, removing cut foods quickly and easily from the cutting surface.
