A rectangular blade for vegetables
The broad 165 mm blade ends in a squared front rather than a chef knife's pointed tip. Its straighter profile is well suited to controlled chopping and slicing of vegetables on a stable cutting board.
The knife measures approximately 293 mm overall and weighs approximately 118 g. For a more general preparation shape, choose the Wakatake santoku; for extra reach and a pointed tip, choose the 180 mm gyuto.
