If you seek a knife that can do most things well, while representing outstanding value for money, then we have something for you to consider in the excellent Yasunori Blue #2 Santoku 165mm.

This small knife has big aspirations and will fulfill many roles in your kitchen. The blade shape is fairly conventional for this type of knife, featuring a fine tip and slight belly which will excel with push and pull cutting. The santoku is a wonderful all-around slicer and dicer that is becoming a first-choice blade in many home kitchens. Its tall blade gives increased finger-to-board clearance while its shorter length makes it ideal for handling a wide variety of produce and proteins.

We really like the grinds of this knife, along with the interestingly formed shinogi, most rare in this price range. The Blue #2 core is clad with a soft stainless steel in the san-mai style of awase. The spine is nicely tapered to the tip and the hand engraved kanji really adds to the look and value. Fit and finish are really good at this price and the handle is well made and fitted. An outstanding value in every way.

      Great Knife, Great Price Point
    Posted By: Will K - verified customer

    As the title states, this is a wonderful knife at a great price point. The knife does need some sharpening out of the box, but other than that the knife has served me super well. Light feel with a good balance point, this knife will make its way into my prep rotation!

    Edge needs some TLC out of the box and the spine at the pinch grip could use rounding.However I used this to cut up 5
