Santoku
The santoku is a general purpose chef's knife originating in Japan. Its unshouldered blade, which is typically between five and eight inches long, has a flat edge and a dull back which curves down near the point to a tip angle of around 60 degrees. The top of the santoku's handle is in line with the top of the blade, giving the chef's fingers plenty of room underneath. The name santoku, which roughly translates to three virtues, refers to the three areas of the blade useful for differing tasks: the tip, the center, and the heel.
