The Henckels 31358-000 Eversharp Pro 2 Pc Santoku Set includes 5 inch and 7 inch Santoku knives. They are the perfect kitchen tools for slicing, dicing, and mincing foods, as derived from ancient Asian traditions. The word Santoku has Japanese historical significance meaning 'three virtues', and these knives wear their name quite proudly, with their marvelous chopping, dicing and mincing abilities. Typically, they range in sizes from 5" to 7" in blade lengths, but smaller ones are available. Sporting a unique styling somewhat like a narrow-bladed cleaver, the Santoku is designed for a comfortable, well-balanced grip, while allowing for full blade use. This set from Henckels offers exceptionally sharp blades with superb balance for precise use in any home kitchen.
