Japanese Santoku Knife Yaxell SAYAKA - Santoku blade length 180 mm steel handle
The santoku knife is the Japanese version of the chef's knife. It was created by the Japanese to have a versatile kitchen utensil. The Santoku can indeed perform several tasks, precisely three. It allows for cutting or slicing food, meat as well as fish. It also allows for chopping 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 rather 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.
