This Santoku knife from the Kai Pro collection performs the three essential cutting tasks a Santoku is named for: slicing, dicing, and mincing. The blade of a Santoku is thinner than the blade of a chef's knife. The Kai Pro collection features hand-sharpened 16-degree double-bevel blades stamped from Japanese AUS6M stainless steel for corrosion and wear resistance. Full tang construction offers strength and balance, and the comfortable POM handles are triple-riveted. NSF-certified. Hand wash recommended.
