Santoku Knives
Translated to mean “three virtues”, Santoku knives are effective all-purpose tools that vary in shape from the western chef knife but serve the same purpose in terms of their utilitarian functionality. The “three virtues” to which the word Santoku refers align with the three tasks of slicing, dicing, and mincing. Their shape is unique to other knives in that Santokus resemble truncated chef knives with altered tips and minimal camber. Unlike the blades of German knives that sweep upwards to meet the tip, the spines of Santokus are rounded downwards to meet the knife edge. Please note that the lack of camber interferes with a traditional rocking motion so Santokus are more often use in a chopping manner.

Dexter-Russell SofGrip 9-inch Duo-Edge Santoku (SG144-9GE)
Dexter-Russell built this 9-inch santoku for chopping, slicing and dicing meats and vegetables, and the SofGrip handle makes it comfortable through a long prep list. Dexter says the grip resists grease and oils, so it stays secure when cutting fatty meat or working with wet hands.The Duo-Edge hollows let air and juices flow between the steel and the food, which keeps slices of potato and cheese from clinging. Its length moves through a head of cabbage or a stack of carrots quickly, and the santoku’s flat edge makes clean push cuts with little effort. It is a good fit for cooks who want a long santoku and a cushioned grip in one knife.
SofGrip or V-Lo Santoku?The V-Lo 9-inch Duo-Edge Santoku is the same length with a firmer dual-textured handle. For a shorter blade, the V-Lo 7-inch Duo-Edge Santoku is the compact choice and easier to store in a drawer. Learn More$61.99
