Frequently Asked Questions about Santoku Knives
What is a Santoku knife?
A Santoku knife is a Japanese all-purpose knife characterized by its wide blade and ergonomic handle. The name "Santoku" means "three virtues" and refers to its versatility in cutting meat, fish, and vegetables.
What is a Santoku knife suitable for?
A Santoku knife is ideal for slicing, chopping, and mincing vegetables, meat, and fish. It is a versatile knife that should not be missing in any kitchen. It is particularly well-suited for fine cutting tasks and preparing sushi.
What is the difference between a Santoku and a chef's knife?
A Santoku knife has a wider blade and a straighter edge than a chef's knife. This makes it particularly good for rocking cuts and for picking up cut food with the blade. Chef's knives often have a tapered blade and are more versatile.
Why do Santoku knives often have a granton edge?
The granton edge, also known as a hollow edge, consists of small indentations on the blade. These indentations reduce the adhesion of the cut food and prevent food from sticking to the blade. This makes cutting easier and ensures clean cuts.
How do you properly care for a Santoku knife?
A Santoku knife should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use. Avoid harsh detergents and store the knife safely in a knife block or with a blade guard. Regular sharpening keeps the blade in top condition.
What are the advantages of a Santoku knife?
Santoku knives are extremely versatile and excellent for slicing, chopping, and mincing. The wide blade makes it easy to pick up and transport cut food. Due to their light weight, they are also very comfortable to handle.
What materials are Santoku knives made from?
Santoku knives are made from various materials, including stainless steel, Damascus steel, and carbon steel. The handles are often made from wood, plastic, or composite materials. High-quality Santoku knives are characterized by high-quality steel and careful craftsmanship.
How do you sharpen a Santoku knife?
Santoku knives can be sharpened with a honing steel, a whetstone, or a knife sharpener. Pay attention to the correct angle and apply even pressure to avoid damaging the blade. For high-quality knives, it is recommended to use a whetstone.
