The Wasabi Santoku is the counterpart to the European chef's knife. It is ideal for fish, meat, and vegetables. The wide and curved shape of the Wasabi Santoku allows for an effective and professional cutting technique known as rocking. The tip of the knife remains on the board while you lift the knife over the food and slice it into the finest pieces with a steady forward motion. The blade shape of the Wasabi Santoku is highly appreciated not only by professional chefs but also by ambitious home cooks.
