The Santoku Knife is a Japanese-style chef's knife for slicing and chopping fruits, vegetables, and meats. This highly versatile blade features a hollow edge, which reduces surface resistance while cutting and allows food to easily slide off the blade's surface. Hand-sharpened by highly skilled artisans, the full-tang X-7 Damascus steel blade features a mesmerizing pattern of swirling, water-like waves that catch the light with every angle.
