Experience the effortless versatility of the Shun Classic Scalloped Santoku 17.8cm — the all-purpose Japanese blade, upgraded with hollow-ground indentations that prevent food from clinging to the steel. Slicing, dicing, chopping — cleaner cuts, faster prep, less frustration.
Blade feature: Hollow-ground scallops for food release
Handle: D-shaped ebony PakkaWood®
Origin: Handcrafted in Japan
The Santoku, Perfected
The Santoku is already the ultimate Japanese all-rounder — equally at home with vegetables, proteins, and fruit. The scalloped version takes it further. The hollow-ground indentations along the blade create air pockets that break suction, so thin slices of cucumber, potato, or cooked meat fall cleanly away instead of sticking. The VG-MAX steel core is clad in 32 layers of Damascus stainless steel, bead-blasted to reveal its flowing wave-like pattern, while the ebony PakkaWood® D-shaped handle provides a secure, fatigue-free grip through even the longest prep sessions.
