Wa Santoku Knife (和三徳)

The Wa Santoku (和三徳) is a Japanese-style Santoku knife that combines the traditional Santoku blade with a classic wa handle. Designed for all-purpose use, it features a shorter, wider blade combined with a lightweight Japanese wa handle, which offers excellent balance and ease of control. Unlike heavier Western-style handles, the wa handle is crafted from natural materials like wood or horn, and it shifts the balance forward, enhancing agility and precision in chopping, slicing, and dicing. Ideal for vegetables, fish, and meats, the Wa Santoku is a go-to choice for both professional chefs and home cooks who appreciate traditional Japanese craftsmanship and versatile performance in everyday cooking.
