Cuisine::pro® Damashiro® 4.5″ Mini Santoku Knife

The mini santoku brings the flat-blade efficiency of Japanese prep technique into a compact, highly maneuverable format, and the Cuisine::pro Damashiro 4.5″ Mini Santoku is one of the most versatile tools you can keep on the cutting board. Its shorter profile makes it ideal for smaller produce, quick herb work, slicing soft cheeses or any task where a full-size santoku feels like more knife than the job calls for, delivering the same push-chop precision in a format that stays out of its own way.
