7 Inch Santoku Knife
Versatile. Sharp. Surprisingly Easy to Handle.
Most Santoku knives are either too light to feel substantial or too expensive to justify. We built the Modern 7” Santoku to fill that gap—an all-purpose knife that’s well-balanced, ultra-sharp, and approachable for cooks of all skill levels. Whether you're replacing your go-to or gifting a future kitchen star, this is the one that gets used daily.
Designed for speed and precision, the Modern 7” Santoku Knife blends the function of a Japanese-style gyuto with the comfort of a Western handle. Shorter than a traditional chef’s knife, its compact blade makes it a favorite for everyday prep work—think dicing onions, slicing proteins, and chopping herbs with total control.
Forged from durable German stainless steel with a full-tang design, this knife holds its edge, resists corrosion, and feels satisfyingly solid in hand. The satin finish granton edge helps reduce drag as you cut, and the continuous blade allows for easy sharpening over the knife’s full lifespan. It’s a cooking knife built to do the job—and look good doing it.
