A 7-inch Japanese-style all-purpose knife with a hollow-edge (granton) blade that keeps food from sticking. The wide blade and flatter profile suit push-cutting vegetables, herbs, fish and meat, and the hollows help with wet or starchy foods. It is a versatile single-knife pick for cooks who want one blade for most prep, though it does not rock like a European chef's knife. Buyers rate it highly, with 337 ratings averaging 5 out of 5.

Owners rate it very highly and describe it as a sharp, versatile everyday knife that handles most prep. The hollow edge is the feature most often noted for keeping slices from clinging.
The Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku is a Japanese-style kitchen knife. The Santoku plays the same role in Japan and across Asia that the chef's knife plays in European kitchens.
Its shape, weight and edge make it versatile. It can mince and chop herbs, vegetables and fruit, and it can also prepare fish and meat. The sharp blade makes cuts from regular to wafer-thin.
