It gets its popularity from its versatility and ability to tackle a wide range of tasks. They typically range in size from  130mm to 200mm have a flat edge with little to no belly and a \"sheepsfoot\" blade shape. Santokus are very popular among home cooks due to their versatility and to them having a slightly smaller size than a gyuto. Because a home cook tends to have a smaller space available to them and is prepping less quantity than in a professional the smaller size of a santoku makes it an excellent choice for a general purpose knife. The smaller size also makes for a great \"line knife\" for a professional chef or cook when space is limited during service. The size also make it great for prepping smaller items for service.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Care Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever use this knife to cut through frozen foods, bones or other hard items. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter use be sure to wash using warm water, dish soap and a soft non-abrasive cloth or sponge. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDry knife immediately after washing to avoid corrosion.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIf storing for an extended period of time use a knife oil like the one found here \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thekniferoll.com\/collections\/sharpening-accessories\/products\/tsubaki-knife-oil\"\u003ehttps:\/\/thekniferoll.com\/collections\/sharpening-accessories\/products\/tsubaki-knife-oil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFor edge maintenance and sharpening use whetstones, strops, or a fine ceramic honing rod.
