Japanese Santoku Knife Deglon Damascus - Santoku blade length 180 mm gray corian handle
The santoku knife is none other than the Japanese version of the chef's knife. It was created by the Japanese to have a versatile utensil in the kitchen. The Santoku can indeed perform several tasks, precisely three. It allows for cutting or slicing food, both meat and fish. It also allows for mincing vegetables, herbs or even hard foods. Finally, it is used to slice meat. For the knife 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 distinguished by their straight and immobile blades. This is the most traditional way of attaching the blade to the knife handle. Most knives used in the kitchen, such as the santoku or chef's knife, have fixed blades.
