Japanese Santoku Knife Yaxell SUPER GOU YPSILON - Santoku blade length 165 mm black micarta handle
The santoku knife is none other than the Japanese version of the chef's knife. It was created by the Japanese with the aim of having a versatile kitchen utensil. The Santoku can indeed perform several tasks, precisely three. It allows you to cut or slice food, both meat and fish. It also allows you to chop vegetables, herbs or even hard foods. Finally, it is used to slice meat. For the knife to be able to perform all these tasks, it must have a curved blade with a fairly thin cutting edge. The santoku is a true standard in Japan.
Fixed blade knives are the traditional knife models. They are generally found in the kitchen, for preparing all types of food, or at the table during meals. These types of knives are not practical when traveling, unless they are carried in their sheath, for safety.
