The 7-inch Santoku knife combines the features of a cleaver with a chef"s knife. The curved blade helps the rocking motion used for chopping, and the wide width works well for crushing garlic and scooping sliced food off a cutting board. Matching sheath helps keep blade sharp and protects fingers while in storage. The handle is lightweight and ergonomically contoured for a comfortable, fatigue-reducing grip. Non-stick resin coating on the blade is made by bonding a food-safe FDA approved resin to stainless steel blade. It resists corrosion, makes cleaning simple, and helps blade glide through food with ease. 30-Year warranty.
