Collection: Santoku – All Purpose

The Charm of the Japanese Santoku Knife — Through a Chef’s Eyes

If I were to recommend just one knife to start with, it would be the Santoku.
True to its name — “three virtues” — it’s a well-balanced, versatile knife that handles vegetables, meat, and fish with equal precision and grace.

Growing up, there was always a Santoku within easy reach in my family’s kitchen — and in every friend’s home, too.
It may not look flashy, but it’s the quiet hero that supports everyday cooking.
Every time I hold one, I’m reminded why it has earned such trust over generations.

What Makes the Santoku Special

The blade’s slightly flatter edge is perfect for clean, straight-down cuts and a smooth, rhythmic chopping motion.
Its gently curved tip allows for easy rocking cuts when you need them.

With an average blade length of around 180mm, the Santoku is slightly shorter than a Gyuto — a comfortable size even in smaller kitchens.
Its taller profile gives your fingers more clearance, helping your movements stay quick and natural.

A good Santoku feels like an extension of your hand — light, balanced, and responsive.
It’s a knife that stays with you, whether you’re just beginning your cooking journey or perfecting your craft as a professional.
