Just as versatile as a traditional chef s knife, the Santoku Knife is also known as a Japanese chef s knife. The Pro Series 7 Inch Kullens Santoku, has a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat. The kullens are the semi-circular hollows on either side of the blade which reduce adhesion and ease the cutting and separation of meats, cheese and vegetables. The stamped blade and handle are compatible in width and weight, resulting in a well-balanced knife.
