What Is a Santoku Knife Used For?

A Santoku is a general purpose chef knife commonly used in Japanese cooking. The name "Santoku" actually tells you what the knife is meant to do: dicing, slicing and mincing. This knife doesn't rock like a Western chef knife but relies on a single downward motion for cutting. While this chef knife is a good general purpose knife, it's particularly suited for thin, even cuts.

Another feature of the Member's Mark 7" santoku knives are the indentations running down each side of the blade. These Granton edges prevent the knife from sticking to the material it's cutting because the pockets allow some air between it and the surface of the blade. They also create a space where juices can flow when you're cutting meat for more precise cuts.

This chef knife has a well-balanced grip that's easy to hold and are a great choice for chefs with small hands because of the even weight distribution.
