For those that love the precise angles, razor sharpness, and traditional design of Asian knives, Mercer Cutlery offers excellence and performance at an affordable price. Santoku literally means "three virtues," or "three good things." This type of Asian knife can be used for the three knife skills of slicing, dicing, and mincing. It has a thinner blade profile for smooth, precise cutting movements. The Santoku knife is ambidextrous, so no reason to buy a knife for your left-handed partner. The scalloped-release granton edge reduces drag on the blade which gives finer slices and prevents food from sticking. You will benefit from spending less time in food preparation, and resharpening your knife blade. The Santoku knife from the Mercer Asian Knives Collection will delight you with its sharpness and quality of manufacture. And you will have plenty of money left to go out and treat yourself to some special foods to cook or even another Asian knife!
