These one of a kind handles are made by a talented artisan who uses a wide variety of rare woods, resin, and other unique materials. We love these psychedelic knife handles so much that we put them on some of our favourite knives for the Garage Sale.
About the Shape - This is also a multi purpose knife, but with a slight vegetable bias. Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The virtues or problems are slicing, dicing and mincing. Santoku is usually found in 160mm - 190mm lengths. These are more and more popular in Western kitchens due to the unique shape and smaller easy to handle size.
