Masahiro Virgin Carbon 9.5 in. (240mm) Wide Santoku

The Masahiro Carbon 9.5 in. (240mm) Wide Santoku cuts smoothly and precisely through fruits and vegetables. A Santoku, like a Chef Knife or Gyuto, is used as an all purpose kitchen knife. This is a very unique knife in that I've never seen a santoku this large. The steel is 3mm thick at the spine and is very smoothly tapered to the edge, with a long single bevel. 2 1/2 inches width from spine to heel and 12 ounce weight. This wide Santoku is a real work horse with a screaming sharp edge that enable you to go from splitting chickens to mincing chives. Highly recommended. Made in Japan.
