Shun Cutlery Kanso Hollow Ground Santoku (SWT0727) 5.5" AUS10A Stonewashed Blade, Brown Wenge Wood Handle

When it comes to your kitchen tools, it's all about finding the ones that are right for you. If you prefer a smaller knife, may we suggest you try the Shun Kanso 5.5-in. Hollow Ground Santoku? In size, it's smaller than our full-sized santoku, but still offers all the performance you expect from a favorite kitchen tool. The hollow grinds on the blade help food release more quickly, making food preparation even easier. Cooks with smaller hands or who simply prefer a smaller knife may find that this 5.5-inch santoku becomes a top go-to knife.
