All cooks have certain tools that work for them. That's one of the reasons Shun makes so many different types of kitchen knives; so you can always find the ones that work best for you. The Shun Premier Blonde santoku is a case in point. Smaller than our full-sized santoku, this one is an in-between size and weight that makes it perfect for most medium-sized kitchen tasks. Slicing baby carrots, dicing shallots, cutting butter or chocolate—all are perfect jobs for the Shun Premier Blonde Santoku. If you have smaller hands or simply prefer a compact knife, this one is sure to become one of your favorite kitchen go-to knives.
