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 the latter, you need to hold the knife horizontally by its handle. This allows for slicing with a diagonal movement from back to front.
Fixed blade knives are common knife models in the market. Used in cooking, camping, gardening, these knives are versatile tools. The fixed blade system and handle ergonomics allow for easier use. These types of knives can be used at any time.
