Classic 7" Santoku

Meet the Classic 7" Santoku, a Japanese all-purpose knife designed for every cutting task in the kitchen. The name reflects its three virtues—vegetables, proteins, and fruit—and its ability to slice, dice, and chop with flawless precision.

This Shun Classic Hollow-Ground Santoku features hollow-ground indentations on the blade to reduce friction, allowing the knife to glide through foods with less sticking and greater control.

• Proprietary VG-MAX cutting core — wear- and corrosion-resistant, strong, and fine-grained to deliver a razor-sharp 16° edge that stays exceptionally sharp.
• 34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding on each side — 68 total layers provide durability, stain resistance, and excellent food release while supporting the core’s performance.
• Hollow-ground design — creates tiny air pockets to reduce suction and friction for smoother, cleaner cuts.
• D-shaped ebony PakkaWood handles — comfortable for both left- and right-handed users, durable, and resistant to bacteria.
• Full composite tang — delivers light weight, superb balance, and precise control.
• Handcrafted in Japan — meticulous craftsmanship and time-honored technique you can feel in every slice.
• Award-winning heritage — the hollow-ground Santoku named “Kitchen Knife of the Year” by Blade Magazine brings professional-grade performance to your kitchen.

With a balanced 7" blade, this knife offers the perfect blend of maneuverability and cutting power for everyday tasks—from chopping vegetables to preparing proteins and fruits. Elevate your kitchen with this iconic, precision-engineered blade.
