When it comes to kitchen knives, a santoku is a blade of many talents. It easily handles all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. In fact, some people even prefer it to a chefs knife. This 5.5" Santoku is smaller, lighter, and very easy to maneuver. There's just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which just adds to the Sora Santoku's versatility. Hollow-ground indentations (Granton edge) allow the blade to glide through the food easily and smoothly. Each blade is forged in the Samurai tradition of San Mai. The artisans incorporated a strong VG10 core with a stainless, corrosion resistant steel on the upper blade, creating a lovely wave patternbut the process isn't just about beauty. The knives are wonderfully sharp and easy to maneuver.
