About the Shape:Santoku means 'Three Virtues' or 'To solve Three Problems'. The three virtues are meat, fish and vegetables, or slicing, dicing and mincing depending on your interpretation. This means that the Santoku is an all-around knife, suitable for the amateur home cook and the professional chef alike. The height means good clearance for big hands, while the relatively short blade can be wielded by anyone.
About Tsunehisa: Tsunehisa blades are made with the ethos of 'affordable quality'. They make high-end Japanese blades by machine-forging their steel to create a reliable, consistent, and affordable product, which is then lovingly finished by a team of expert craftspeople for a handmade fit & finish.
