Shun Kazahana 7" Santoku Knife

 A member of the stylish Shun Kazahana line, this durable santoku knife is adept at mincing, slicing and dicing. The shun premier santoku knife is no exception. With a 7-inch blade it is a work-horse for all your kitchen prep, chopping and slicing its way through all your tedious tasks.

Shun – Japan's leading blade manufacturer – has created an exclusive line of kitchen knives that combine high-performance blades with stunning polished finishes. Handcrafted in Japan, the full-tang blades are laser cut of high-carbon vanadium stainless-steel to maintain their razor-sharp edges longer than traditional blades. Gently curved PakkaWood handles feel especially balanced in hand, with rivets that secure the blade for added strength.

The Santoku is an Asian-inspired chef's knife that many cooks have added to their kitchen favorites. A knife of many talents, a santoku easily handles all the basic kitchen cutting tasks and is very easy to maneuver. There's just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, making the santoku even more versatile. As easy to use as a chef's knife, the santoku is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut). In Japanese, "Kazahana" means "Snow that flickers like petals dancing in a clear sky," much like the finish on its beautiful satin finish blade.
