There's a good reason this is one of our best selling knives - with its beautiful high polish hammer finish and great sharpness straight out of the box the santoku is a perfect all round chef knife for everyone from home cook to professional chef.
An excellent value all rounder and one we'd recommend as a good first Japanese knife or addition to an existing collection.
