The Shun Kanso 5.5-inch Hollow Ground Santoku Knife is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, this Japanese steel knife is easy to maneuver and works well as a fruit, protein and vegetable knife. Hollow ground indentations reduce friction while cutting, making it easier to glide through food. Made with AUS10A high-carbon stainless steel reinforced with vanadium and an angled, tagayasan wood handle, this all purpose knife is strong, durable and precise. The butt of the knife is designed to function as a bottle opener and allows for easy hanging on knife hooks. Supported by free sharpening and honing. Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Kanso Santoku Knife adds essential simplicity to any cooking knife collection.
