Santoku: A well-rounded knife that can accomplish a lot of cutting tasks. The santoku is
the most common knife shape you’ll find in kitchens worldwide and it excels at slicing,
dicing, and mincing. Think of it as a cross between a Gyuto (chef knife) and Nakiri (veg
knife). Generally short in length, 160mm-190mm, the santoku is a superb knife if work
space is an issue.

Avoid glass, marble, slate, plates, china,or anything harder than steel. 

Bamboo and edge grain hardwood is not recommended due to the hardness.

Avoid cutting through bones to prevent blade chipping.

Refrain from using the knife on frozen food; opt for a knife with softer steel.

Never twist, cleave, or pry the blade if it gets stuck. Gently  remove your knife and try again.
