The Global GS Series Santoku Fluted Knife 11 cm (4.5") is a compact Japanese prep knife designed for precision work. Its shorter Santoku-style blade offers excellent control for small cutting tasks such as slicing vegetables, herbs, and boneless meats. The blade’s fluted (hollow-ground) grooves create air pockets that reduce sticking, allowing food to release more easily during cutting.
