Dao Santoku

The handle feels warm and secure even mid-chop, and the blade glides through tomatoes without squashing them. I’ve used it every day for a week and the edge still feels razor-sharp—makes dicing onions almost fun.

The balance on this knife is perfect—it feels like an extension of my hand when I’m dicing onions, and the blade glides through tomatoes without crushing them. I’ve had it a month and it’s still as sharp as day one.

The blade keeps its edge through a whole week of meal prep, which is more than I can say for my old knives. It slices through a butternut squash with zero wobble, and the weight feels perfectly balanced in my hand.
