Shun - Classic Santoku Knife, Dimple, 6.9 inches (175 mm) Santoku Knife

The Santoku knife is often considered Japan’s all-purpose kitchen knife. Its name means “three virtues,” and it is said to be well suited for three types of ingredients: vegetables, meat, and fruit.

This Santoku knife features dimples along the center of the blade, which help reduce friction and provide a smooth cutting experience.

About Knife Care
After use, apply a mild detergent to a sponge and wash off any dirt. Rinse thoroughly, wipe away any remaining moisture with a dry cloth, and store the knife in a low-humidity place.

About Sharpening Kitchen Knives
No matter how well-made a knife is, it will gradually lose its performance if it is not properly maintained.

When a ripe tomato gets crushed instead of being sliced cleanly, or when chicken tends to slip and becomes difficult to cut evenly, it is a sign that the knife needs sharpening.
