Santoku Knife: The Santoku knife is a Japanese cooking knife that is often designed with a scalloped blade like this one. In Japanese, Santoku means ?three virtues,? which is fitting for this utility knife because it is particularly good at doing 3 things ? chopping, slicing, and mincing. The scalloped detail makes it easier to remove chopped food from the blade?s sharp edge.
Slice, Dice, And Chop: This dicing tool is perfect for cutting up just about anything. Use this knife to slice vegetables for a veggie tray, to chop onions for a pot roast, or to mince whole heads of garlic. No matter the slicing or chopping job, this knife is up to the task. This knife is a must-have, multi-use tool.
