Seven inch Damascus santoku kitchen knife
$85.99
Last updated 2026-11-06
This seven-inch santoku knife is shaped with a shorter tip and a flatter edge than a standard chef knife. It suits downward chopping motions on cutting boards for vegetables and meat.
The blade uses forged Damascus steel, which provides both visual texture and structural integrity. Small indentations along the side help release thin slices of food during use.
This model fits comfortably into rotation for daily meal prep where a nimble knife is preferred. It offers a balanced feel for standard kitchen tasks.
