About this product

This 6.5" Santoku knife is a versatile and essential tool for any kitchen.

Product Overview

The 8117-PT pairs a stainless-steel santoku blade with a black plastic handle and silver-colored collar. The broad blade curves down toward the front, creating an all-purpose preparation profile distinct from the longer pointed shape of a gyuto.

Its 6½-inch blade provides a compact format within the PT selection. The matching 8118-PT repeats the dark grip and bright collar with a longer gyuto blade, allowing the blade shape to change without changing the handle style.

The black plastic handle has a simple cylindrical appearance without exposed rivets. The silver-colored collar creates a clear transition from grip to blade.

The 8117-PT supplies a 6½-inch santoku blade, while the 8118-PT offers a longer gyuto profile. Compare blade shape and listed dimensions when choosing the tools for different preparation tasks.

The blade remains broad toward the front before curving into the cutting edge. This gives the 8117-PT a different working outline from a narrow sashimi slicer or pointed gyuto.
