How wide are santoku blades?

[Crayola]

Hey all! I was wondering, for those of you with santoku knives, could you measure the width of the blade and tell me that number, and also what knife you have? Thanks

Ah, now I've tracked your interest down, Crayola. I'll check later this evening.

 

[Crayola]

Thank-you Sir!!

I checked two santokus, and both were 1-3/4".

One was a Hattori 7" santoku.

The other was a Fallkniven PP23, also 7" (7.1" to be precise).

Spyderco Santoku is just a touch shy of 2.25inches.

Thanks very much gentlemen!! It is interesting that the Spydie Santoku is that wide. It certainly appeared to be wider than others I had seen.

Gabe, I just love that hattori santoku! I believe I have said this before, but any excuse you can think of to post that pic, please make it That is one of the best blades I have ever seen. Highly functional high quality art. Perfect!
