How to Choose the Best Santoku Knife for You
When buying a santoku, consider these key factors:
Blade hardness: Japanese santoku knives range from 56 HRC (easy maintenance) up to 62 HRC (supreme cutting). If you know how to sharpen well, choose hard steels such as the KAI Shun. If you prefer convenience, opt for Arcos or 3 Claveles.
Ideal size: For home use, a santoku of 16 cm to 18 cm is perfect. Chefs prefer 20 cm. Japanese brands such as Global and KAI offer ideal proportions.
Guaranteed quality: A good santoku knife from 3 Claveles or Arcos outperforms many Western chef’s knives. For professional level, KAI and Wusthof are a worldwide benchmark.
Santoku vs Chef’s Knife: Which One to Buy?
The santoku stands out for its straight blade that makes push cutting easier, ideal for vegetables and fish. Its rounded tip is safer than Western knives, and its balanced weight reduces fatigue while cooking.
