Sekiryu 6½" Blade Stainless Steel Santoku Knife — Perforated Blade

The 8117-A2-H is a santoku with a broad stainless-steel blade and a row of round openings along the blade face. Its pale handle and black collar coordinate with the A2 preparation knives while the perforated blade makes this version easy to distinguish.

The knife is listed at 11¾ inches overall with a 6½-inch blade. Choose its broad, rounded-front santoku shape alongside the smooth 8117-A2 or textured 8117-H2 when comparing blade finishes within the same general preparation format.

The light handle contrasts with the dark collar and silver blade. This restrained handle styling coordinates with other A2 profiles used at the preparation station.

The 6½-inch blade sits within an 11¾-inch overall knife. Compare the perforated, smooth and textured versions by both blade shape and dimensions rather than their finish alone.
