Lamson Sierra Santoku Knife

A Santoku knife features a shorter, flatter blade with a slightly different tip profile, making it ideal for precise, downward chopping motions rather than the rocking motion typical of a Western chef's knife. It is generally lighter and more nimble, which many home cooks find easier to control for dicing vegetables and slicing proteins.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the forged steel and the handle material, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and drying it immediately after use.

Fully forged construction means the knife is crafted from a single piece of steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This process creates a denser, stronger blade that offers better balance, weight, and long-term durability compared to stamped knives.

Yes, a 7-inch blade is the standard size for a Santoku and offers an excellent balance between maneuverability and cutting surface. It is large enough to handle most vegetables and meats comfortably, yet compact enough to feel agile during detailed prep work.

The handle is designed for comfort and durability, but it should be kept dry when not in use. Avoid soaking it in water, as prolonged moisture exposure can degrade the handle material over time.
