Santoku Knife
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.
History of Santoku Knife
The knife was born in Japan during the high economic growth period after the war when Western food became widely consumed among the general population, causing a shift in ingredient selection. Vegetables were common choice in Japanese cuisine before this change and vegetable knives were most common choice in households. However, the change in diet created a need for multiple knives, each specializing in vegetables, fish and red meat; however, this was not convenient for most who were non- professional cooks. To nullify the problem, Santoku Knife was born. That is to say, the knife evolved with the dining rooms across Japan.

Such a beautiful knife, very sharp, light weight and gorgeous design. I cant wait till my boyfriend opens up his gift, he’s going to love it 🥰
It’s just the perfect things I need for cutting vegetables, meat and fish
I wanted a utility knife of some kind to compliment my Miyabi without breaking the bank. Found this to be a great option. Nice blade, great design, and the handle is very nice and comfortable. Definitely recommend.

I have a few Japanese knives of high carbon steel that are my favourites, but the claim of VG10 steel on this blade at this price made it irresistible. The blade came sharp, but I typically sharpen to a higher level. Although I haven't refined the edge yet, I look forward to seeing the results on this blade, as I really like it on some of my pocket knives.
Came with in the time range, the package was rapped great and was sold.
Shipped quickly. Looks as described... It's gorgeous. Feels sturdy.
Exactly what I was looking. Top quality
This meat fork (Fleishe Gabel in German) looks awesome and very well-made, just like my oversized Guede Alpha Brot Messer was. I've received several compliments about it already this year, including a "WOW, that's really cool!" from the Made-In store manager in Austin.
Definitely would recommend Guede knives to anyone who wants quality kitchen knives that will last a lifetime and be passed down to the next generation! Ausgutzeichnet (Excellent)!
Shipping time was very good and am very happy with my new knife
