Easy to maneuver and surprisingly versatile in the kitchen. Santoku knives are the all-purpose chef's knives in Japanese kitchens. They're perfect for slicing vegetables, herbs, and smaller proteins. There is just enough curve to allow for rocking cuts which adds to its versatility. The hollow ground indentations on the blade create air pockets that reduce friction when cutting which means food is less likely to stick on the blade.
