Hollow-edge Santoku
A hollow-edge santoku knife is a versatile and efficient tool for any kitchen. Its hollow edge design creates air pockets, reducing friction and preventing food from sticking to the blade. With its precise and sharp blade, this knife excels at slicing, dicing, and chopping various ingredients.
What is a Hollow-Edge Santoku?
A hollow-edge santoku knife is a hybrid blade that combines the sharpness of a straight edge with the curved belly of a serrated edge. This design makes it an ideal tool for cutting meat, fish and other foods that need slicing. The santoku's shape resembles a Western chef's knife, but it has a shorter blade. The name "santoku" is Japanese for "three uses," which refers to its ability to chop, slice and dice.
The hollow-edge santoku originated in Japan during the early 20th century. It quickly gained popularity because of its versatility and ability to hold an edge longer than traditional Japanese knives. The design lets you make clean cuts without crushing food, so it's ideal for chopping ingredients for dishes such as soups and stews.
