Hollow Edge Santoku Knife

Product Description:

The Santoku knife is versatile, as its name in Japanese implies “three virtues”. Use the entire, wide blade of this Shun Pro for all three tasks--chopping, mincing and dicing--especially for larger or hearty produce or thick cuts of meat. The single bevel is easy to maintain using a whetstone or professional sharpener.

Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun Pro knives rely on extremely sharp 2.5mm blades, made of a single piece of Japanese VG10 steel for strength, called the Honyaki style in Japan. It offers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors. Sharper out of the box than other knives, Shun Pro knives feature a traditional Japanese blade, with a one-sided beveled edge and hollow-ground or concave back. Japanese chefs in particular prefer the single bevel because it can be honed backed to its original sharpness, even after hours of slicing, using a whetstone. In addition, the hollow ground divots on the back produce air pockets that remove friction when slicing, so food releases easily without any loss of flavor. The ebony Pakkawood handle, a highly durable combination of layers of white birch wood and resin, is designed in a “D” shape to fit firmly and comfortably in the hand, with the bonus of being dishwasher safe and NSF approved for commercial kitchens. Shun Pro cutlery is suitable for right-handed users only and comes with free lifetime sharpening by the manufacturer.

I gave this knife as a Christmas gift to a couple that loves to cook, and each time I see them they tell me how wonderful the knife is, how much simpler cooking becomes. If you have the money, you will definitly not regret spending it on this knife.

It's on MY wish list for mother's day !

What our Kitchen Experts Say

Don't you hate it when you're trying to slice a cooked potato and your knife just smushes it instead? Try using a santoku knife instead. Its blade has specially designed hollow indentations that reduce drag when cutting, so your knife will slice right through. Santokus are also great for cutting soft cheeses, slicing onions, and just about all your everyday chopping tasks.
