Collection: Santoku Knife-Multipurpose

Santoku means "three uses": meat, fish and vegetables. It is shorter and flatter than a gyuto, usually 165 to 180mm, with a rounded nose that feels safe and familiar. The flat edge suits an up and down chopping motion, which is how many home cooks naturally cut.

A santoku is one of the easiest ways into Japanese knives, especially in a smaller kitchen. See our first knife guide for help choosing.
