I also share with your some tips and tricks that I've picked up after the past decade working in some of the best kitchens in the world and help you master using the Santoku. The santoku is a great option for any home cook looking to pick up their first nice Japanese knife or for the professional who needs something a little more compact and nimble than the typical 8" chefs knife.
