Lamson Santoku Knife

The hollow-edge, or Kullenschliff, creates small air pockets between the blade and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the side of the knife while you slice.

G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate that is exceptionally durable and moisture-resistant. Unlike wood handles, it won't swell, shrink, or crack when exposed to water or fluctuating kitchen temperatures, ensuring a consistent grip over time.

The curved, recessed bolster is designed to encourage a proper 'pinch grip,' which is the professional standard for knife control. It provides a natural resting place for your fingers, improving comfort and safety during repetitive chopping tasks.

While the forged construction and full-tang design make this knife very durable, the 5-inch Santoku is primarily optimized for precision slicing, dicing, and mincing vegetables or boneless proteins. It is not designed for heavy-duty tasks like cutting through bone or frozen foods.

Lamson offers a service where you can send your knife back to their factory to be professionally sharpened for the life of the product. You are responsible for the shipping costs to and from the facility, but the sharpening service itself is covered.
