The santoku is a versatile cutting tool in the kitchen, combining the utility of a chef's knife with the maneuverability of a slightly shorter blade. Shun's Dual Core series employs a unique blade construction: 71 alternating layers of VG10 and VG2 steel, forming a herringbone pattern and a razor-sharp cutting edge. The traditional octagon-shaped handle is made from durable ebony PakkaWood, and the knife includes a wooden saya (sheath).
