Collection: Santoku Knives (All Purpose Knife)

The Santoku is a multi purpose Japanese knife that can also fit on smaller chopping boards, making it the perfect choice for professional chefs and home cooks alike! The name Santoku translates to ‘three virtues’ and symbolises the characteristics of this knife – chopping, dicing and mincing. A great all-purpose knife.

The ideal length for a santoku knife is approximately 7” (17-18cm), which is the average size of an adult hand. This size ensures the knife maximises comfort while being used and it is also easier to handle for most people, especially those with smaller hands. Compared to the Chef knife they are typically smaller, thinner and lighter.

Our Santoku knives come in a range of steels and designs, including Western style handles and more traditional octagonal handles.
