STRATUS Santoku  7inch is a versatile cutting tool capable of handling most basic kitchen cutting tasks.  Santoku means “three virtues” in Japanese and is capable of slicing, dicing and mincing. Fit with a blade shape shorter in length but wider than a Western chef knife – the strength of the Santoku is its light weight and easy maneuverability. Professional chefs will choose a santoku blade to handle both detailed and greater volumes of prepping to improves work efficiency.  The extra width of the blade means it is exceptional at peeling vegetables like carrots and daikon or fruit like apples and pears.
