Premium Yoshida Hamono ZDP-189 Silver Santoku Knife - Ultra Sharp Japanese Kitchen Knife for Slicing, Dicing & Chopping Vegetables, Meat & Fish - Perfect for Home Chefs & Professional Kitchens

A great looking knife that boasts the sharpness and hardness of knives significantly more expensive. This santoku has a superbly sharp edge out of the box and will hold it for a long time. 

With a bit more of a veg bias than the gyuto knife the santoku can do most things (no really hard veg or bones though!) and you'll find it becomes invaluable. 

The knife is made from a core steel of ZDP-189, a very hard steel (66-67 HRC), which means it can achieve and hold an incredibly sharp edge. 

This version has a polished finish and has a very flat cutting edge which means it would be suitable more for push/pull cutters rather than rock choppers.
