Santoku Knives

The Santoku knife is a popular Japanese chef's knife that is ideal for cutting meat and fish as well as vegetables. At NO-GA you will find a wide variety of exclusive santoku knives suitable for those who want to experiment and challenge themselves in the kitchen.

What is a santoku knife and what is it used for?

The Santoku knife is a useful kitchen knife that can be used when doing most tasks in the kitchen. The Santoku knife is the Japanese equivalent of the Western chef's knife. What makes them different is that the santokun has a slightly different shape. The santoku knife has a few centimetres shorter and often thinner blade that is wide down to the tip. The knife often has a slightly curved edge and a blade length of about 15 to 24 cm. Like the chef's knife, the santoku knife is versatile and suitable for many purposes, from cutting meat and fish to chopping vegetables. The Santoku knife is often handmade and therefore often more expensive.
