What is a Santoku ,you may ask ?
The word Santoku has Japanese historical significance meaning 'three virtues', and a Santoku knife wears its name quite proudly, with its marvelous chopping, dicing and mincing abilities. Typically, they range in sizes from 5" to 7" in blade lengths, but smaller ones are available. Sporting a unique styling somewhat like a narrow-bladed cleaver, the Santoku knife is designed for a comfortable, well-balanced grip, while allowing for full blade use.
I find these very good for cutting cooked & uncooked meats,too,slicing ,cubing,etc. While I have not tested this yet,I feel these would be great for filleting very large fish,too.
Rick did an outstanding job on these. They are knives you will not see come up often for sale by Menefee
