From Our Founder
"This is a very useful size when the board is small or the ingredients do not need a full eight-inch knife. It keeps the Santoku’s versatility with less blade to manage."
Tony Boulton, Founder, Design & Grace

Questions answered
Hand wash the Shun Premier Santoku 5.5" Knife with gentle dish soap rather than in the dishwasher, and dry it very thoroughly with an absorbent towel. Use a cutting board soft enough to take a slight cut line, avoid hard surfaces, bones, joints, frozen foods, and pits, and never pry or twist with the blade. Store it in a block, case, in-drawer holder, sheath, magnetic bar, or the original box.
