Shun Classic Santoku Knife 18cm

A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. The santoku, like a chef’s knife, is used for almost every cutting task in the kitchen. The name signifies “three virtues.” Depending on who you ask, the name relates to either the three categories of meals it works best with – vegetables, meats, and fruit – or the three types of cuts it specialises at – slicing, dicing, and chopping. Shun Classic knives include Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles. Behind the beauty of these handcrafted knives lies function: razor-sharp blades that work admirably.
