The Santoku knife resembles a turned down bird's beak, almost a combination of cleaver and chef's knife, with a completely straight blade on the bottom. Santoku actually means 'three benefits', which you could translate as mincing, slicing and dicing, or that it can be used for meat, fish and vegetables. Either way, it's considered the Chef's knife or ultimate knife choice for many Japanese chefs. Right handed knife.
