Shun Premier 7" Santoku Knife (TDM0702)

Shun Premier 7-Inch Santoku Knife (Silver) (TDM0702) is the Asian version of the chef’s knife and features more of a sheep’s foot blade with a spine that drops sharply to meet the hardened, acutely-ground cutting edge. The Santoku doesn’t have the sharp tip of the chef’s knife and is not as easy to use for removing stems and cores from fruits and vegetables. However, although the ultra-thin blade is not as well-suited for general chopping, the Santoku excels when it comes to slicing starchy vegetables and cross-grain cuts of poultry, fish, and meats. And no knife works better than a Santoku for cutting paper thin slices of potatoes and garlic, or juliennes of peppers, cucumbers, and other fruits and vegetables. Shun has a wide selection of 7" Santoku Knives to choose from: Shun Classic Blonde Santoku , Shun Classic Hollow Ground Santoku Shun Dual Core Santoku Shun Kanso Hollow Ground Santoku , and the Shun Sora Hollow Ground Santoku . No matter your style, there is a Shun Santoku for you!
