A 5.5" ceramic santoku built for fast, consistent prep work and precise push-cutting. The Kyocera Innovation White 5.5" Santoku with red handle is designed for cooks who prioritize control and efficiency during prep. The flatter edge profile supports a direct, vertical cutting motion, making it ideal for vegetables, herbs, and repetitive slicing tasks. The blade is made from zirconia ceramic. It maintains a sharp edge significantly longer than steel and performs consistently through extended use. Because it is non-reactive, it will not affect flavor or cause discoloration when working with ingredients like citrus, apples, or avocados. In use, the knife moves through food with very little resistance. It produces clean, even cuts and requires less effort than a comparable steel blade, which helps maintain speed during high-volume prep. The 5.5" length offers a practical balance. It provides enough blade for board work while remaining compact and easy to control, especially in tighter workspaces. Compared to a larger chef’s knife, this size allows for more precise handling and can reduce fatigue over long prep sessions. Ceramic behaves differently than steel. It holds its edge for a long time but does not flex. Avoid hard materials such as bones or frozen foods, and do not twist the blade during use. This knife is best suited for fruits, vegetables, herbs, and boneless proteins. It is not intended for heavy-duty cutting. The angled handle creates a natural grip position and helps keep your hand clear of the board. The lightweight build supports consistent, controlled movement throughout prep. The blade will not rust or corrode. When it eventually needs sharpening, a diamond-based system or professional service is required. Learn More

This knife is a masterpiece of material science, designed for the modern cook who values effortless precision and lasting sharpness. The Santoku, Japanese for "three virtues," excels at slicing, dicing, and mincing, making it the perfect multi-purpose tool for preparing fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats.
