Restaurant Santoku Knives

Though the Santoku knife originated in Japan, you'll find many commercial kitchens around the world utilize this kind of knife. The hallmarks of the Santoku design is a shorter, lighter, harder and thinner blade than its Western chef's knife counterpart. Due to its downward angled tip, those using a Santoku blade will often use an up and down chopping motion instead of the traditional rocking motion found in Western cutlery.
