Santoku

The SANTOKU Knife 

The name "Santoku" in Japanese means "three virtues," representing its three main functions : slicing, mincing and chiseling. Unlike the chef's knife (Gyuto), the Santoku is distinguished by its shape and shorter blade. Ideal for fruits, vegetables, meat (without bones), fish (without fish bones), and herbs. It is highly valued for its maneuverability, both in Japan and internationally.

*White oak is characterized by its distinctive grain, water resistance as well as his density and exceptional durability.
Pippy oak is characterized by dormant buds beneath the bark. In case of damage, these buds help the tree regenerate; otherwise, they become part of the wood, giving that peppered grain and contributing to its rarity.
