Three ways to cut it.

The Japanese word santoku translates to “three virtues,” in this case referencing the santoku knife’s three uses: slicing, dicing, and mincing. A traditional santoku knife has a straighter blade than your average chef's knife, but this rocking version from Zwilling J.A. Henckels combines the best of both worlds. The very-slightly curved blade supports both chopping (using a downward motion only) and rocking (moving the blade back-and-forth over the cutting board). Use it as you would your chef’s knife—this one is as versatile as they come.
