Messermeister Blacksmith 6.5-inch Kullens Santoku
The santoku is a versatile, all-purpose knife designed for chopping, slicing and dicing, says Messermeister, and the Blacksmith version adds kullens along the blade that reduce friction and help keep food from sticking. Slices of potato or cucumber fall away cleanly from the steel.At 6.5 inches, the blade is compact enough for a small board and tall enough to give your knuckles clearance. Its flatter edge favors a straight-down chop or a forward push cut, which many cooks find easier to control than a rocking motion. The Blacksmith finish and ebony Pakkawood handle set it apart in a knife block, and its light weight makes it a comfortable choice for cooks with smaller hands. It also makes an approachable first forged knife for someone moving up from a stamped blade.
