It's not just a different style of knife - it has its own set of unique advantages!

Santoku knives are smaller and more lightweight, which makes them great for people with smaller hands. Plus, they have a different cutting technique: rather than the rocking motion used with chef knives, you use a swift downward motion, which makes them perfect for chopping. And get this: Santoku knives are designed to prevent unwanted piercing and produce finer, more precise slices than regular chef knives.
