Santoku Kitchen Knife — Balanced, Versatile, Effortless

The Santoku Kitchen Knife is Gene’s interpretation of a true all-purpose kitchen companion — a blade designed for smooth slicing, confident chopping, and effortless everyday prep. Every Santoku is hand-ground and hand-sharpened, giving it a fine, precise edge and the signature balance Gene is known for.

Its profile is wide, stable, and versatile, allowing it to move seamlessly between vegetables, meats, herbs, and general prep. The gently curved edge supports both push cuts and rocking motions, while the taller blade provides excellent knuckle clearance and control. Whether you're preparing big meals or everyday ingredients, the Santoku offers a dependable, comfortable cutting experience with refined craftsmanship behind every inch.
