Great knife. Kimberly. Baltimore, MD. Sun Apr 17 2022

The Shun Kanso hollow ground santoku is a beautiful, Asian-inspired chef's knife that many cooks today have added to their kitchen favorites. A knife of many talents, a Santo easily handles all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. In fact, some people even prefer it to a chef’s knife. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, the Shun Kanso Santoku is very easy to maneuver even in a smaller kitchen. There's just enough belly curve to enable rocking cuts, which just adds to the knife's versatility. Shun thinks you’ll find that this distinctive kitchen knife works beautifully and fits your hand like a glove. As easy to use as a chef's knife, the santoku is especially well suited to a down and forward cutting motion push cut. Many cooks swear by their santoku for easy food preparation and top performance. Shun took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does high-performance steel, razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS 10 A -highly refined, high carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and holds it longer. Kanso's - Heritage finish hides scratches and gives Kanso a rustic look that just improves with age. The handle is made of tagayasan wood, sometimes known as “iron sword wood." The handle contouring enables an easy chef's grip. Full tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control. Like all Shun knives, Kanso is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle on each side to cut cleanly and help preserve food’s freshness and best taste.

This is a beautifully crafted knife. The blade is beautiful and made with the devotion that Japanese craftsmen are famous for. The wooden handle is a lovely dark brown and fits nicely in my hand. This is more than a kitchen knife, it is a piece of art and deserves special care. No dishwasher, dry immediately after use and store such that it won't nick you or be nicked by other cutlery..

Designed with precision and elegance in mind, this 8” Hammered Chef Knife is a very diverse tool. The German steel blade is perfectly beveled and bellied for the perfect rock-chop technique. The base of the blade provides ideal support for pinch-grip cutting for precise motions.

Our 7” Damascus Santoku Knife harmonizes elegance with functionality. Featuring a thinner and flatter blade compared to our chef’s knife, it excels in chopping motions. The heel of the blade is perfect for swift chopping, while the sharp, pointed tip facilitates precise cuts. With its versatile capabilities, the Santoku Knife effortlessly slices through various types of meat and produce with precision.

This knife was an addition to my other Wusthoff Santoku Knife. Both are what Inuse for almost everything unless I need a long skinny blade. I like the smaller handle on this knife a little better than the standard and I love the look.. Gordon S.. Mon Mar 16 2026
