The Japanese santoku-style knife represents "three virtues" or "three uses," referring to the variety of ingredients that the knife can handle: meat, fish and vegetables, and to the tasks it can perform: slicing, chopping and dicing. The Santoku's blade and handle are designed to work in harmony by matching the blade's width and weight to the weight of the tang and the handle. This design is by Japanese designer Keita Suzuki who is influenced by the beauty of traditional Japanese crafts. This knife features a hollow handle that ensures its lightness and is scaled for comfort in the hand. The handle is made from stainless steel with a molybdenum vanadium steel blade. Blade measures 7.4"l, handle measures 4.5"l. Dishwasher-safe.
