Santoku: A well-rounded knife that can accomplish a lot of cutting tasks. Santoku translates to “3 problems”. The 3 problems in this case are 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 space is an issue.
