Santuko Knife Superpowers
In Japanese, santuko means "three uses" or "three virtues"—a.k.a. chopping, dicing, and mincing. We use ours for waaaay more than just prepping veggies, but getting good at these three foundational cuts is an easy way to level up your knife skills. Use your Santoku for cutting meat (but not bones), chopping and dicing fruits and veggies, mincing herbs, and delicate knife work—the sharp blade is ideal for precision cuts (hello, hasselback potatoes).
