The Santoku is a general-purpose kitchen knife similar to the chef knife, but without as much of a curve to the blade. This results in more of a chopping vs. a rocking motion. Santoku knives excel at slicing, dicing, and mincing. The Kullenschliff (K) edge, also known as a Granton or Hollow-Edge, helps prevent food sticking to or stacking up on the blade, by creating air bubbles in the hollow grooves between the food and the blade. 5" blade Black G10 handle will not rust, oxidize, become brittle or soften over time; it is impervious to moisture and highly resistant to temperature Forged in the USA from the finest quality German steel Full tang blades with triple riveted handles ensure ideal balance and weight Curved and recessed bolster provides comfortable thumb and finger support for better control and safety Manufacturer's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects Lamson's Sharp for Life program supplies a lifetime of professional sharpening on every non-serrated knife
