The GS Series is a classic collection of small and medium-sized knives with weighted hollow handles. This series is suitable for all areas of food preparation. This Asian-style knife has a broad blade and very sharp cutting edge. This knife can be used to prepare meat, fish and also vegetables. The fluted blade stops food from sticking onto it when your cutting spring onions or even small pieces of meat. Santoku means three ways in Japanese and is related to its ability to be used for a range of kitchen tasks using different parts of the blade that allow you to slice, dice and mince.
