Ukon Hollow Ground Santoku 7"

Made in Japan, this elegant Santoku knife packs a lot of power, thanks to its thicker blade and one-piece stainless steel construction. Straighter and thinner than a classic chef's knife, it boasts scalloped grooves so food falls away from the blade. The UKON, which means "the union of the traditional and the new," was designed for smooth, effortless and precise cutting and mincing, with an ergonomic textured handle and integrated thumb rest for greater control and comfort. Cromova 18 stainless-steel blades are ice-tempered and hardened to 56-58 on the Rockwell scale and sharpened by both ceramic water sharpener and whetstone.
