May we suggest you try the Shun Classic 5.5-in. Santoku? In size, it's between our small and full-sized santoku. This in-between weight and size make it perfect for medium-sized kitchen tasks, from slicing carrots and shallots to mincing herbs to cutting chocolate or butter. Cooks with smaller hands or those who simply prefer a smaller, lighter knife may find that this smaller santoku becomes a top go-to knife. Some cooks have told us they use it in place of a paring knife for some tasks or love it for cutting up fruit for breakfast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA smaller, lighter santoku you'll reach for again and again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProprietary VG-MAX cutting core is wear and corrosion resistant, strong, and very fine-grained to enable a razor-sharp, long-lasting 16° edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34 layers of stainless Damascus cladding each side (68 total); support the core, add stain resistance, and help food release from the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD-shaped ebony PakkaWood® handles are comfortable for both left- and right-handed users; durable, beautiful, and won't harbor bacteria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull composite tang for light weight and perfect balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41311239569575,"sku":"DM0727W","price":169.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0399\/8223\/5815\/files\/Shun-Shun-Classic-Blonde-5_5-Santoku.png?v=1743756116","url":"https:\/\/popovermt.com\/products\/shun-classic-blonde-5-5-santoku","provider":"Popover Kitchen Supply, formerly Zest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
