Santoku Knife, Japanese-Style, 7 1/8 Inch

Width: 1 inch Height: 1 inch Depth: 7 1/8 inch The santoku knife is a general-purpose kitchen knife with a flat edge and a sheepsfoot blade that curves in an angle approaching 60 degrees at the point. The top of the Santoku's handle is in line with the top of the blade. The word santoku loosely translates to 'three virtues' or 'three uses', a reference to the three cutting tasks the knife performs well: slicing, dicing and mincing. The Santoku's blade and handle are designed to work in harmony by matching the blade's width/weight to the weight of blade tang and handle.
