The Santoku knife is the all-purpose knife that in Japanese means "three virtues," as it can be used for meat, fish, and vegetables. Its tip is more curved than the chef's knife, while the length of its blade is ideal for chopping even on the countertop of a home kitchen, where space is usually more limited. Its light weight makes it comfortable and effortless even after prolonged use.
Additionally, it features grooves to prevent food from sticking to the blade.
