An SKD11 Santoku pairs a compact 5-7 inches profile with a slim grind and balanced feel. Chemistry uses high carbon with about twelve percent chromium and small additions of molybdenum and vanadium for toughness and wear resistance. Geometry remains double beveled and mostly flat toward the heel with a modest tip for precise board work. The steel resists rust better than carbon but can stain. Maintain by rinsing by hand, drying at once, and storing clean with a light oil.

To see how these ideas show up in real knives, explore our Santoku collection. You can check blade length, edge style, and handle fit side by side, then choose the balance, look, and maintenance level that suits you.
