A commercial general-purpose Japanese-style knife for meats, vegetables, and fish

Taylor Precision has designed a sturdy, reliable Santoku knife for restaurants and commercial use. It has been made with a semi-polished high-carbon German steel and has a 7" blade (17.7 cm), which is the most common size. It has a one-piece, dishwasher-safe handle with no rivets or seams, so you don't have to worry about trapping food or bacteria. It features a contoured-shaped handle which has a nice soft grip and is comfortable in your hand to use throughout the day.

"Santoku" means "three virtues," because this knife can handle meat, fish, and vegetables. Or maybe it was named this because you can use it to slice, chop, and dice. Whatever the origin of the name, it's a general-purpose knife which some chef's prefer to the a chef knife, and many chefs in Asian restaurants prefer this style of knife. Some other names for this knife would be Santoku bōchō or Bunka bōchō. This model comes at a good price-point and so can be a knife that a restaurant wants to have multiple on hand for their kitchen staff. 

It's a well-balanced knife with a nice soft handle that has some give in your hands. The high-carbon German steel means that you'll be able to keep it extremely sharp for a long time. Carbon steel can be honed to an extremely fine and lasting edge. And while carbon steel is softer than a stainless steel blade, that actually means it's going to be easier to sharpen and easier to keep sharp longer. This knife has kullens (those dimples in the blade) which limits the food sticking to the blade, making this knife perfect for chopping and dicing vegetables: people love using these blades for root vegetables and meat.
