These single steel blades are tough and sharp, with an edge geometry that is like a faster, thinner version of its European counterparts. Light and easy to sharpen, our Carbon Steel series takes a very keen edge due to the fine grain structure of the steel.

*The Santoku Bocho (meaning "three Virtues" or "Three uses") rivals the Gyuto for our most popular knife. 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. *
