Description
"Three Virtues" in Japanese, the word Santoku refers to the three main ingredients that this multifaceted knife was created for: meat, fish and vegetables.
Lighter and more agile than a classic western chef knife but just as versatile, the Santoku has seen an emergence in the western kitchen during the last 20 years.
Primarily designed for an up-down or push-cut motion, the Santoku can be used for draw cutting and, due to it's slightly curved blade, a rocking motion is also promoted.
Best used for:
- Cutting meat
- Scooping food off a cutting board due to wide blade
- Creating fine slices, particularly useful for vegetables and seafood
- Slicing, chopping or dicing fruits, vegetables and nuts
- Slicing cheese
- Mincing meat or herbs
The Regalia Emperor Series Santoku represents the culmination of millenia of Asian knife making experience. We've chosen the finest materials, most sophisticated bladesmithing techniques, and ideal design to bring you this indispensable masterpiece of the kitchen.
