What is a Santoku Knife?
The Santoku (三徳), meaning 'three virtues', is a versatile, all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife. Its three virtues are slicing, dicing, and mincing. With its relatively flat edge and sheepsfoot blade, it is perfectly suited for preparing vegetables, fish, and meat, making it one of the most popular and essential knives in any kitchen.
