What are santoku knives for?

Correct name is Santoku-Bocho. Santoku knives originated in Japan. Approximate translation is closer to "convenient knife", and literally it means "the knife of three virtues". What exactly are those three are still debatable. Obviously the name refers to its versatility. General purpose knife, with similar intended use with Gyutos - Japanese equivalent of western chef's knives. I.e. general food preparation, soft foods, vegetables, boneless meat, etc. Generally santokus can be found at home kitchen, but not inthe pro environment, at least in Japan. More information on various Japanese knives including photos and technical details in the attached link.


How is a santoku knife different from a chefs knife?

There are several significant differences. First, the steel on the Santoku knife is generally both harder and thinner. This makes for a much sharper edge, but also one more prone to chipping. A Santoku knife is less suitable for chopping than a chef's knife. Second, the edge of a Santoku knife is usually straighter, with less curve or belly than a chef's knife. This means there will be less rocking motion possible with the knife, and so the user's technique must be different to accomplish similar tasks. The Santoku is a fine kitchen knife, but is engineered different from a typical chef's knife. One can accomplish nearly all of the same tasks with the two knives, but with different techniques. The Santoku is -generally- harder to sharpen, more prone to chipping, and harder for Western-trained chef's to use. Once the user makes the necessary adaptations, the Santoku will hold a sharper edge longer. I've studiously avoided saying that one is better than the other, as I don't believe this to be the case. They require different techniques, and have slightly different geometries.


What is a cooks knife?

A cook's knife, also called a Chef's knife or French knife, is a large all-purpose knife that everyone should have in their basic kitchen arsenal. It's really just a modified butcher's knife, originally used to slice and disjoint large cuts of beef. Direct counterpart of western chef's knife from Japan is a Gyuto, not santoku. Gyuto is based on French chef's knife, vs. German style chef's knife, i.e. more slander, with less belly. Main difference between Gyuto and western chef's knives is its lighter weight thanks to its thinner blade. Steel used in Japanese knives is typically much higher quality compared to western knives and is a lot harder as well, 54-56 HRC is typical hardness of a western chef's knife, while average Japanese Gyuto will be well over 60 HRC, andhigh end knives go 65-67HRC. Santoku, loosely translated from Japanese means"convenient knife", and more literal translation is a knife of three virtues, although it's not very clear what are those 3 virtues. Santoku is less versatile version of a chaf's knife, but it is more multipurpose compared ot dedicated vegetable knife like Nakiri. Santokus are never used in a pro kitchen in Japan at least, mainly household cook's knife. main drawback of the santoku is the lack of length, specimens over 7" are very hard to find, and lack of belly curve.
