The Santoku Knife is the Japanese take on the general-purpose kitchen knife. It excels at slicing, dicing, and mincing but its biggest talent is being multitalented – and its true specialty is doing everything well. Thanks to its special shape, low weight, and excellent balance, you’ll find the Santoku to be a true all-rounder that’s a joy to use day in and day out. Japanese inspired, the Swiss Modern Santoku Knife, 17cm takes its name from the translation of the words ‘knife of three virtues’. And it certainly lives up to that thanks to its intrinsic ability to slice effortlessly through meat, fruit, and vegetables. The 17cm blade is constructed with a specially fluted edge to eliminate friction and prevent food sticking. The thermoplastic handles are perfectly balanced for ergonomics and durability.
