Shun Classic 7″ Hollow-Ground Santoku

Description

A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. Like a chefs knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means three virtues. Depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well withvegetables, proteins, and fruitor for the three types of cuts at which it excelsslicing, dicing, and chopping. Hollow-ground indentations on the blade help reduce friction so the blade glides through the food more easily.

The Shun Classic line features beautiful Damascus-clad blades and D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles. Shun’s proprietary high-performance VG-MAX steel, which provides incredible edge retention, is clad with Damascus stainless steel, then ground and bead-blasted, revealing the flowing pattern of the layered steel.
