Japanese Santoku Knife

The Japanese Santoku knife is the most popular type of knife that has evolved together with the Japanese culture. It is said you cannot find a home in Japan without a Santoku Knife. The “San”, or “three”, in Japanese points to three ingredients of meat, fish and vegetables pointing to its versatility. It is an all-purpose knife that could prepare pretty much any ingredient. Although its birthplace is Japan, it’s convenience has spread overseas, and in recent years many non-Japan made Santoku Knives are found.

Designed as an all-purpose kitchen essential, the Japanese Santoku Knife excels in slicing, dicing, and mincing with precision and balance. Its shorter, wider blade and slightly curved edge make it ideal for both professional chefs and home cooks seeking efficiency and control in every cut.

Although the Japanese Santoku Knife was born in Japan, its practicality and superior design have made it beloved around the world. Today, it continues to be a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and innovation, with both traditional and modern versions available globally.
