The Rosti santoku knife 18 cm features a distinct shape that is perfect for cutting and chopping all manner of vegetables. The santoku knife is marked by its shorter and lighter blade compared to a traditional chef knife, making it known as the Japanese blade of preference for vegetables. The blade itself is very thin and sharp to give you precision and control as you prepare your signature dishes: slice paper-thin cuts of meat, fish and vegetables with accuracy and grace. The height of the knife even enables you to chop using the entire length of the blade all the way down to the shaft without endangering your fingers as you cut. Sleek recesses on the side of the blade also prevent food from sticking to the knife to make cutting easy and fast. Combine with other knives from the same series for a complete chef set.
