Kyocera's INNOVATIONwhite knives feature a seamless handle design with a better grip for different cutting techniques. The handle gradually thins to the blade, with a tight seam for finger grip. The circular underside of the handle and slightly thicker ends prevent the knife from dropping when hands are wet. The knives weigh half as much as their metal counterparts, making them easy to use and control which helps improve your cutting skills. The 5.5" santoku knife is a versatile kitchen knife with a traditional Japanese shape but with a double-beveled cutting edge. It is perfect for slicing, dicing, and mincing fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins. The lightweight and well-balanced design makes it easy to use for all cutting tasks.
