Global Classic 3-Piece Santoku Knife Set

A santoku, a mid-size cook’s knife and a paring knife give a compact kitchen a full range of blade lengths. The 7-inch hollow ground santoku does the main board work, with a flat edge for push cuts and flutes that keep slices of potato and cucumber from sticking.

The 5-inch cook’s knife sits between the santoku and the parer. It handles a single onion, a few cloves of garlic or a chicken breast without bringing out the larger knife, and it slices small fruit on the board. The 3.5-inch paring knife covers peeling and coring.

Santoku Set or Asian Chef’s Set?

Both sets share the same paring knife. This one suits cooks who want a pointed santoku as their main knife. The Global Classic 3-Piece Asian Chef’s Knife Set builds around a taller, wider cook’s knife instead. The santoku is also sold on its own as the Global Classic 7-inch Hollow Ground Santoku. Our Knife Merchant knife shapes guide explains how a santoku compares with a chef’s knife.

Tips for Best Results

Cut with a forward or backward slicing stroke. Chopping straight down onto the board dulls a thin edge faster.
Keep the edge away from bones, frozen food, hard nuts and hard cheese. If the blade catches on something hard, free it with a forward-and-back motion; twisting it sideways can chip or bend the edge.
Cut on wood or plastic. Glass, stone, marble and tile surfaces damage the edge.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse, and dry with a towel right away. Global advises against the dishwasher, since the heat and strong detergents can damage the edge and the steel.
Do not soak the knife or clean it with bleach or chlorine cleansers.
Hone with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen on a whetstone at 10 to 15 degrees. Global recommends ceramic or diamond rods over conventional honing steels.
A household stainless steel cleaner removes rust spots left by inadequate drying.
