The Kanso 7-inch, hollow ground Santoku kitchen knife is a beautiful, Asian-inspired Multi-Purpose Kitchen Knife. A Santoku is similar to but smaller than a chef's knife for smooth maneuverability and increased control. This must-have blade is created from Japanese high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel, which takes a sharp edge and holds it longer. Handle is contoured Tagayasan, sometimes known in Japan as “iron sword wood, " for striking looks and durability. Kanso is a design principle based on Zen philosophy. It means “simplicity, " and Kanso provides what is most essential in a quality kitchen knife: high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. Use the Shun Kanso Santoku for slicing, dicing, cutting and preparing a dinner, breakfast, or lunch in the kitchen. Enjoy the meal prep experience with a professional-grade knife. Pair with other items in the Kanso series for a complete kitchen knife set that will impress any cook, host, or chef.
