Santoku Knives

The santoku - meaning three virtues - is Japan answer to the all-purpose chef knife. Shorter and flatter than a gyuto, with a sheepfoot tip and a profile that excels at push-cutting through vegetables, proteins, and fish without requiring a rocking technique. Mark has carried santokus from respected names in Japanese bladesmithing - Shiro Kamo, Nao Yamamoto, Masakage, and Yoshimi Kato among them - in carbon, stainless, Ginsan, Aogami Super, SG2, and Damascus.
