Mercer Culinary Genesis Santoku Knife

The Granton edge features small, scalloped indentations along the blade. These create tiny air pockets between the steel and the food, which prevents items like potatoes or cucumbers from sticking to the side of the knife while you chop.

Santoprene is a high-performance material that provides a soft, non-slip grip, even when your hands are wet or oily. It is designed to be ergonomic, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like dicing vegetables.

No, this Santoku knife is designed for precision slicing, dicing, and chopping of fruits, vegetables, and boneless meats. Using it on bones or frozen foods can damage the fine edge of the carbon steel blade.

Carbon steel requires more care than stainless steel. Always hand wash the knife immediately after use, dry it thoroughly with a clean towel, and store it in a dry place to prevent oxidation.

A 7-inch Santoku is slightly shorter and lighter than a typical 8-inch chef's knife, making it highly maneuverable for smaller hands or tighter workspaces. Its flatter blade profile is specifically optimized for a downward chopping motion rather than the rocking motion used with a chef's knife.
