Santoku 18cm kai shun white classic

The Shun Classic Santoku with a beautiful ashwood-coloured handle is a traditional Japanese styled, all purpose knife. The straight blade makes this knife perfect for chopping.

A santoku is a Japanese all-purpose kitchen knife. Like a chefs knife, the santoku is used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. The name means “three virtues.” Depending on who you ask, the name refers either to the three types of foods it works well with—vegetables, proteins, and fruit—or for the three types of cuts at which it excels—slicing, dicing, and chopping.

All Shun Classic knife purchases come in a beautifully presented gift box.
