Like the chef’s knife, the santoku is an
all-purpose, double-beveled knife. It works well on just about anything
you need to cut in the kitchen, from fruits and vegetables to meats,
poultry and fish. With its slightly shorter blade, downturned tip, and
high handle position, the Wasabi Black Santoku is not only versatile,
but can be less intimidating than a long, pointy chef’s knife. It’s
exceptionally handy for cooks with smaller hands or who are working in
a smaller kitchen. The Wasabi Black Santoku excels at push cuts due to
its somewhat flatter edge, yet there’s enough curve to enable efficient
mincing cuts, too.
The Wasabi Black Santoku is part of Kai’s Wasabi
Black series. The series features traditional Japanese single-bevel
blade shapes as well as a selection of double-bevel Western-style blade
shapes. Single-beveled blades excel when extremely precise cuts are
needed—for example, when preparing sushi. Double-beveled blades offer
ease of use and versatility. Wasabi Black brings you the best of both
worlds. The blades are high-carbon stainless steel designed to take and
hold a sharp edge, with a graze finish that gives them an attractive,
brushed look. Paired with black polypropylene handles in a traditional
Japanese style, Wasabi Black brings beauty and harmonious food
preparation to any kitchen.
