Shun Premier 5.5 Santoku Knife

Description

The three santoku virtues, slicing, dicing, and mincing, are only the beginning of endless chopping possibilities open to you with the Shun Premier 5.5 Santoku Knife. You'll chop your way confidently through the produce and meat products in your fridge with this santoku knife, which rests comfortably in your hand. The oblong walnut pakkawood handle has a Shun-embossed end cap that adds balance. Constructed from a VG10 steel core, with 32 layers of stainless Damascus, this knife rates at an excellent 60-62 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. Beveled for lateral stability and incredible precision, this knife makes it easy to navigate your way through onions, garlic, and chicken, like a true champion of the kitchen. The striking hammered finish, called tsuchime in Japanese, acts similarly to a series of hollow-ground cavities, reducing drag and quickly releasing foods from the blade, so you can easily move from one task to another. Chop, mince, dice, slice, and conquer tonight's dinner, and all of your dinners from now on, with your santoku knife.
