Originating from Asia, the Santoku Knife is the Japanese chef's knife. It is notably used for slicing, dicing, and mincing food during preparation. To distinguish itself from a standard chef's knife, the santoku has a flat blade with a curved tip, diagonally from the spine to the edge. Moreover, the cutting technique is different from that of a European chef's knife. With this one, you need to hold the knife horizontally by its handle. This allows for slicing with a diagonal movement from back to front.
