Traditional Japanese all-purpose kitchen knifeBlack Fibrox handle298 mm long, 46 mm wide, 14 mm thickBlade length 170 mm. The Santoku bocho ("knife of the three virtues") is an all-purpose kitchen knife with an originally Japanese blade shape. Characteristic for Santoku is that the blunt upper edge of the knife forms a line with the handle and the wide blade protrudes far below the handle, thus providing enough space for the fingers under the handle. The origin of the Santoku lies in the changed eating habits in the course of the Meiji restoration. Since the economic miracle after the end of the Second World War, meat has been a frequently used foodstuff alongside fish and vegetables. Thus the blade shape of a western meat knife was combined with that of a traditional Hocho. The Japanese term Santoku (San = three, Toku = virtues), which gives this knife its name, refers to its good qualities when cutting meat, fish and vegetables.
