The Santoku knife's thin blade makes it excellent for rapid chopping motions and when working with vegetables, and the fluted blade also helps ingredients release more easily from the knife. The Santoku knife is the Japanese equivalent of the chef's knife and, like the chef's knife, is a reliable all-rounder perfect for most tasks in the kitchen. The knife is part of the Wood series, which consists of a collection of knives all designed with a beautiful maple wood handle.
