The Performer 7" Santoku is Japan’s version of the European-style chef’s knife. Use it to cut meat, mince herbs, chop vegetables, or craft wafer-thin slices of fish. The wide, 7-inch blade is slimmer than a typical European chef’s knife. The extremely sharp, 20° angle of the cutting edge ensures uniquely frictionless knifework. The hollows along the blade’s edge allow small air pockets to form during slicing, minimizing sticking and maximizing efficiency. Perfectly balanced, the Santoku shows its strength in demanding tasks that require precision and versatility. Ultimate sharpness. Effortless glide. Inspired precision.
