Arguably the most in vogue profile in kitchen cutlery today, the santoku offers a handy and versatile instrument for tackling practically every task in the kitchen. This 6.5” MAC Superior santoku is constructed of MAC’s molybdenum vanadium stainless steel treated with an added low temperature hardening step to provide excellent edge retention. The stabilized pakka wood handle resists damage from moisture giving natural wood feel with much better service life than more traditional wood products. The design features an ergonomically upswept handle for better finger clearance while cutting.

This was a knife that saw many hours in a commercial kitchen, outperforming its peers & being rated as the best knife in our kitchen. As an all around, suitable for most tasks, knife to be relied on, this one goes the distance. Well worth the money at full price. This is a knife that I would give as a gift to someone just starting to build their kitchen.

Decided to buy this based on recommendation from Cooks Illustrated. I've been using the knife for several weeks and absolutely love it! It is extremely sharp and makes quick work of chopping jobs. I plan to add this to my gift list for those who have everything.

Recently bought along with MAC black ceramic honing rod to keep it sharp. Both very high quality and perform beyond expectations. Smooth, precise cuts for fruits and vegetables. Excellent knife. Bonus - both come in presentation quality boxes.

Best santoku well under $100 period. Cooks illustrated top pick. pros: very thin blade, well balanced & light, sharp, comfortable handle (if you pinch the knife even better compared to pro-line)cons: feels overly delicate, straight blade or less curve is not liked by everyone, sides have an unpolished strip (unattractive), pakkawood handle
