A santoku is a chef knife for a different hand movement. The edge is flatter, so instead of rocking the tip on the board you push the whole edge straight down. The heel is taller, so your knuckles clear, and the tip is dropped rather than pointed, which takes away the fine detail work and gives back a longer usable edge. If you have ever found yourself lifting a chef knife off the board with every cut, this is the shape you were reaching for.

The seven pieces here split between two steels. The Damascus blades are layered and etched, with the working edge in the core. The VG-10 versions are a Japanese stainless core clad in softer steel, which is the more forgiving of the two if knives in your house get left in the rack. Two of the seven are folding blades from the outdoor shelf, which is an odd thing for a santoku to be and genuinely useful in a camp kitchen.

03Asked before ordering

Huusk Santoku Knives: questions

What people ask us about santoku knives before they pick one.

Should you buy a Huusk santoku or a chef knife?

Watch your own hand on the board. If you rock the blade through a pile of parsley, buy the chef knife. If you lift and chop straight down, buy the santoku: the flat edge meets the board along its whole length and you stop crushing the last third of everything.

What blade length will you get in a Huusk santoku?

Seven or eight inches on this page. Seven is the traditional size and suits a smaller board. Eight gives you more edge for a big pile of vegetables and wants fifteen inches of board behind it.

Can you cut meat with a Huusk santoku?

For boneless meat, yes, and it slices a chicken breast or a steak cleanly. For anything with bone in it, no: the edge is thin and it will chip. That is the cleaver’s job and there is a shelf of them.
