7" Santoku Knife - Pin Series (X020)
Reach for this when you want zucchini coins cut to the same thickness without measuring, radish shaved so thin it curls, or a capsicum diced fast without the wedges sliding around. The 7-inch Santoku's flat profile is built for a push-cut motion that keeps the blade in contact with the board on every stroke. No rocking, no accordion-slicing.
The Push-Cut Specialist
Where a Western chef knife rocks forward on its curve, the Santoku's straighter edge glides straight down. That full-contact cut gives you cleaner slices through softer produce and keeps delicate herbs from bruising on the board. The 10Cr15CoMoV core is vacuum heat-treated to 60 HRC, so the edge stays sharp through a full prep session rather than going dull halfway through your mise en place.
Olive Wood Handle, Balanced for Speed
The handle is natural olive wood, riveted to a full-tang steel core that runs the whole length of the knife. It sits low in your grip, letting you choke up tight for control on detail work or drop back to your palm for faster bulk cuts. Lighter than the chef knife, so your wrist doesn't fatigue on a long session of repetitive slicing.
