KYOKU Samurai Series Knives
Santokuä¸‰å¾³åŒ…ä¸ knives are a Japanese-style knife that is becoming more popular in the United States,
with many versions being made in America as well as abroad. Santoku translates as "three virtues" or "three uses"
and refers to the three types of cuts the knife is made for: slicing, dicing, and mincing.
The blade has a flat cutting edge and the handle is in line with the top edge of the blade.
The end of the blade has a rounded curve called a sheep's foot, rather than a sharp point that's more common with western blades.
Because of the flat blade, the Santoku doesn't rock on the cutting surface the way
that the blade of a chef's knife does, so it might take some practice to get used to the style.
