The Santoku is generally associated with Asian food. This knife has a wider blade with a long straight edge that curves up slightly at the end. The santoku is believed to offer better control due to its design of a thinner, wider blade and shorter length. The thinner blade is good for more precise cutting on products like broccoli, a very dense vegetable. Unique blade design for slicing, chopping, and dicing. Curved blade allows for smooth rocking motion. Wide blade for scooping sliced vegetables. Perfect balance and blade shape for easy slicing.
