Shun Classic 5.5" Santoku Knife

Stocking
your kitchen is all about getting the tools that work best for you. May
we suggest you try the Shun Classic 5.5-in. Santoku? In size, this
knife is between our small and full-sized santoku. This in-between
weight and size make it perfect for medium-sized kitchen tasks, from
slicing carrots and shallots to mincing herbs to cutting chocolate or
butter. Cooks with smaller hands or those who simply prefer a smaller,
lighter knife may find that this smaller santoku becomes a top go-to
knife. Some cooks have told us they use it in place of a paring knife
for some tasks or love it for cutting up fruit for breakfast.
