The Santoku

Santoku means "three virtues" - slicing, dicing, and chopping - and the Shun Classic delivers on all three. The VG-MAX steel core holds a razor-sharp 16° edge through demanding prep sessions, clad in 34 layers of Damascus stainless steel that is ground and bead-blasted to reveal its flowing, wave-like pattern. The ebony PakkaWood handle is D-shaped for a secure, fatigue-free grip whether you're breaking down proteins, paper-thin slicing cucumber, or working through a pile of aromatics. A go-to knife for home cooks and professionals alike.

Care & Maintenance

  • Hand wash only - never dishwasher
  • Dry immediately after washing
  • Hone regularly with a Shun honing steel to maintain the 16° edge
  • Sharpen with a whetstone or professional sharpening service when needed
  • Store on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the blade
