The Ballarini Tevere Santoku knife offers a wonderful symbiosis of Far Eastern knife expertise and Western design. The Japanese knife has an 18 cm blade and is an all-purpose knife. You can use it for cutting meat, vegetables and fish. The main difference between a santoku knife and a conventional chef’s knife is the blade’s hollow ground edge, which means fewer ingredients stick to the blade when chopping. Thanks to its ergonomically designed premium pakkawood handle, the santoku knife sits comfortably in the hand. The santoku knife is particularly resilient. Thanks to its incredible sharpness and balance, the Japanese knife with the Mediterranean design will remain a joy to use for many years to come. Whether you’re in the mood for sushi or pizza, the santoku knife is a reliable partner for many kitchen tasks and not just for professionals. The same applies for both amateur and professional chefs: Because of its wooden handle, the all-purpose knife should be washed by hand.
