A santoku is an Asian-inspired knife that is versatile and can handle basic kitchen cutting tasks. The Shun Sora Hollow Ground Santoku is slightly shorter than a standard chefs knife, light, agile, and easy to maneuver. It has a slight belly curve for rocking cuts and hollow-ground indentations on the blade to reduce friction and make cutting easier.
