The TADAFUSA BOCHO SANTOKU is one of our most popular Japanese Chef knives due to its versatility and honesty. With the razor-sharp edges you'll easily achieve super-skinny slices of onions, tomatoes and other diced vegetables. According to our favourite chef's these knives have fantastic balance and are easy to work with all day long.

The Santoku is a larger knife great for slicing, dicing, and chopping.

Japanese style: From the traditional Japanese range of hand forged blue carbon steel knives by Tadafusa, the carbon core of these knives is sandwiched between two layers of blue carbon steel that have been left with a rustic or nashiji (pear skin) finish. This helps prevent food from sticking to the blade when slicing items (and also offers a unique look). The carbon steel blades hold a keen edge and are exceptionally sharp and are deliberately left unfinished as the imperfections reduce suction, allowing food to fall freely from the blade. It also allows the knife to cut with less resistance. The handles are crafted from Magnolia and Bubinga wood and have a plastic ferrule. This wood is moisture resistant and also resistant to bacteria.
