What is a Santoku knife used for? Almost anything. A Santoku knife is one of the most versatile and commonly used kitchen knives worldwide. Due to their incredible ease of use, a santoku knife can be used for general chopping, cutting, and slicing of most ingredients.
For this reason, you can actually use a Santoku knife on a wide variety of foods which can include:
Chopping vegetables: slicing and chopping vegetables and making decorative cuts for dish presentation.
Meat: Slicing and making rough cuts on meat due to a shorter and thinner blade, but this knife is not well suited to cutting dense meat with tough cartilage and bone.
Seafood: used most commonly for slicing and chopping seafood (particularly raw fish).
Over a thousand years of craftsmanship have inspired the final form of the Ginsu Santoku, a stainless steel blade that will stand the test of time. The Santoku features high-quality steel fromapan – a steel with high corrosion resistance and durability. Each blade completes a rigorous quality assurance process and is tested and retested to ensure it meets the distinction and caliber of GINSU.
