Delivery Information

Price Match

The Kai Shun Classic santoku knife is a Japanese-made santoku for precise prep work, in 14cm and 18cm blade lengths.

The santoku profile, shorter and wider than a Western chef's knife, suits slicing, dicing and chopping vegetables, fish and boneless meat with clean cuts and little drag. The blade holds its edge well, meaning less time at the stone. The D-shaped handle sits naturally in the hand during long prep sessions. Hard Japanese blades need care: use a ceramic rod or fine whetstone rather than a standard steel, avoid bones, hard rind and frozen food, and hand wash only.

  • Japanese-made santoku profile
  • Holds its edge well
  • D-shaped handle
  • For vegetables, fish and boneless meat
  • Hand wash only

The 14cm suits fine vegetable work and detailed prep, and the 18cm suits general slicing, dicing and chopping. For help choosing knives or sharpening kit, call the team on 01304 827272.
