Santoku Knives
Santoku Knives Collection
The Santoku knife, or Santoku Bocho, is a traditional Japanese multipurpose knife that means “Three Virtues.” These three virtues refer to its ability to cut meat, fish, and vegetables, as well as its versatility in chopping, slicing, and dicing.
Often compared to the Western Chef’s Knife, the Santoku is shorter, lighter, and easier to maneuver. Its compact size and well-balanced design make it a favorite among home cooks and professional chefs who need precision and control.
Why Choose a Santoku Knife?
The Santoku knife’s flat edge and sheepsfoot tip allow for smooth, controlled cuts without the need for a rocking motion. Its **wide blade** also makes it ideal for scooping and transferring ingredients during meal prep.
Key benefits of a Santoku knife:
- Perfect for precise chopping, slicing, and dicing
- Shorter and lighter than a Gyuto for easy handling
- Ideal for those who prefer a compact, well-balanced knife
