Your cart is empty.The Shun Kanso 7-inch Hollow Ground Santoku Knife is a multipurpose knife used for just about every cutting job in the kitchen. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, this Japanese steel knife is easy to maneuver and works well as a fruit, protein and vegetable knife. Hollow ground indentations reduce friction while cutting, making it easier to glide through food. Made with AUS10A high-carbon stainless steel reinforced with vanadium and an angled, tagayasan wood handle, this all purpose knife is strong, durable and precise. The butt of the knife is designed to function as a bottle opener and allows for easy hanging on knife hooks. Supported by free sharpening and honing. Handcrafted in Japan, the Shun Kanso Santoku Knife adds essential simplicity to any cooking knife collection.

Good value for the price. I haven't put this one through its paces yet, but as a kitchen professional, I have always been happy with the performance of Shun and Kai product lines. I'm sure this one won't disappoint.

While many seem to disagree,I very much enjoy having the tang edges extend beyond the wood of the handle ever so slightly so I can center by feel. I know Shun makes a range of gorgeous knives, but this is the one that stole my kitchen

The metal from the blade sticks out from the wood handle. Very uncomfortable to hold, my wife doesn't even use it.

I have the utility version of this knife that I’ve had about four or five years. It’s finally need a sharpening.Did you know that Shun offers lifetime sharpening?!? I just set it off to them I paid the return fee came back to me like brand newThis is about their middle class line amazing balance, nice weight super sharp looks sexy-Even though it’s stainless, there is some carbon in there to hold a nice edge. It’s one of my favorite knives. I’m excited to use the Santoku.If you’re trying to get into a quality knife without breaking the bank, definitely look at these

No complaints. Nice weight (heavier than other Shuns), nicely balanced, excellent handle, and sharp as f.

First of all, if you are not someone that is nice to your knives (aka not washing for 24 hours, dishwasher or non-food cutting) do NOT get this. Shun makes great blades but they are delicate. No exception here but basic care will give you a lifeling santoku. Indexing it is weird at first due to the incongruous tang/handle construction but becomes second nature quickly. Cheaper but still a Shun.

I have a Cutco 7” chef knife for many years and It’s annoying which i need to sharpen it every time before use. I should have bought this earlier to save myself some time.Did some research comparing the Miyabi 7”, the Shun is almost half the price. Its awesome for me to do every day cooking. I am not a professional cook, don’t mind to spend a bit extra on a better quality knife for everyday cooking.

There’s nothing like a sharp, well balanced knife in the kitchen and this knife is it! Be careful! It is VERY sharp! I love the feel and the look of this Shun knife and am very happy to add this to my Shun collection (just wish the handle was black like my other Shuns)

I have owned a lot of knives, both kitchen and hunting/other. Maybe a year and a half ago, I got a Shun 6 inch utility, and thought this is the best kitchen knife I have ever used. I use it every day. Since then got a carver, this santoku, and a paring knife. Quality and ease of use exceptional. You do need to know that Shun as a Japanese knife uses a 16 degree bevel as opposed to the 20 degree bevel on Western knives, so you need a different sharpener (I use a Kai) or you need to sharpen by hand on a stone. Worth the trouble.
