Zanmai Beyond Aogami Super 7" Santoku

The Zanmai Beyond Aogami Super Santoku is a beautiful, Asian-inspired chef's knife. Designed for vegetables, proteins, fruit for slicing, dicing, and chopping. The slight belly curve enables the cook to rock the blade slightly and makes this santoku as easy to use as a chef's knife. It is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut) and many cooks swear by their santoku for top performance. Zanmai combines modern technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship and is one of the leading manufacturers of high quality knives in Seki, Japan. For more than two decades, Zanmai has produced knives that are used all across the world.
