Cuisine::pro® Damashiro EMPEROR® Santoku Knife, 6.5"

The pakkawood-handled santoku knife is made for everyday prep tasks like slicing vegetables, chopping herbs and working with fish or boneless proteins. Its santoku profile supports steady, controlled cuts as you move through common meal prep.

Guide the blade forward and back in a smooth pull-and-push motion, letting the edge do the work. This technique is especially helpful for quick, tidy slicing and chopping during weeknight prep.

The hammered blade finish adds distinctive texture and an elevated look to the knife. It is a design detail that pairs function with a more refined style on the cutting board.

The dark walnut pakkawood handle is designed to feel balanced and comfortable, giving you a steady grip for repetitive chopping and slicing. It is a good fit for cooks who want control during longer prep sessions.

It is a great choice for home cooks who want one versatile knife for day-to-day ingredient prep. It also makes a practical gift for someone building a first set of essential kitchen tools.

For best results, follow the care guidance provided by the maker for the santoku knife with a pakkawood handle. In general, use a cutting board that is gentle on edges, clean and dry the knife promptly after use and store it safely to protect the blade.
