About Santoku Knife

Santoku in Japanese transliterates as "three virtues" so they are otherwise known as "three purposes" knives. A santoku is meant to fulfill three purposes: cutting meat, vegetables, and fish. Its diminutive size and unique shape have made it very popular at home not only in Japan but in the United States. More and more home cooks are finding its versatility appealing without committing to a larger or more specialized knife.
