Combining features of a chef's knife and a cleaver, the Santoku is an all purpose Asian-style knife that's ideal for cutting meat, fish and vegetables. The word santoku means "three good things" - a reference to the three cutting tasks it performs so well: slicing, dicing and mincing. The Calphalon Santoku is designed with kullens, or indentations along its edges, which reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade. The Calphalon knife also serves as a spatula as you cut, removing cut foods quickly and easily from the cutting surface.
