As "santoku bocho" means "three virtues/uses" go chop, mince, and dice with the Shun Kanso 5.5" Hollow Ground Santoku Knife. The wide, small-sized blade makes it easy to julienne thin slices of vegetables and meats. You will also note how the hollow indentions on both sides of the blade prohibit food from sticking as you cut. Since the blade is razor sharp, the slices will look beautiful since there’s no need to saw back and forth.

Named after a design principle based on Zen philosophy, Kanso means, “simplicity”, a principle achieved by eliminating the non-essential. For the Kanso collection, Shun took away anything that doesn’t matter and kept everything that does: high-performance steel, a razor-sharp edge, perfect balance, and precision cutting control. The steel is Japanese AUS10A, a highly refined, high-carbon, vanadium stainless steel that takes a razor-sharp edge and keeps it longer. The rustic heritage finish hides scratches and improves with age. The Tagayasan (“iron sword wood”) is dense, durable, and beautiful. Full-tang construction provides strength, balance, and easy cutting control.

Like all of Shun’s knives, this Kanso Santoku Knife is sharpened to a 16° cutting angle on each side to cut cleanly. Use this handcrafted knife to take care of the small yet complex matters along your meal prep for any time of day!
