The Santoku is what happens when Japanese knife design meets German steel. Shorter and flatter than a traditional chef knife, the 7" blade is built for push-cuts and fast, precise chopping — the way most home cooks naturally work, without the rocking motion a chef knife requires. The granton hollow edge runs the length of the blade, creating small air pockets that stop food from sticking mid-slice and reduce drag through every cut. High-carbon German steel, hand-sharpened at 14–16° per side using the Honbazuke method. It arrives sharp and stays that way. Full tang Pakkawood handle, triple-riveted, balanced end to end — none of the front-heavy weight that makes cheaper knives tiring. Laminated and polished for a sanitary, rust-resistant surface. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just a knife that makes prep faster, cleaner, and less of a chore. Lifetime warranty.

All Cutluxe knives are forged from high-carbon German steel — rust-resistant, impact-tough, and precision-tapered to a razor-sharp 14–16° edge. Handles are crafted from ergonomic Pakkawood for a secure, comfortable grip in any condition. Every knife features full tang construction for maximum balance and control. To keep your knife performing at its best: Hand-wash only — dishwashers damage the edge and handle over time Dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture build-up Hone regularly with a honing rod to keep the edge aligned between sharpenings Store on a magnetic strip, in a knife roll, or in a block — never loose in a drawer Use a wooden or plastic cutting board; glass and ceramic surfaces dull the blade

We stand behind every blade we make. If the quality isn't what you expected, we'll make it right. Simply reach out to our team at support@cutluxe.com and we'll handle the rest.

6" Thin & Curved Boning Knife

I’ve always liked working with sharp knives and tools, so I carefully searched for the best balance between cost and quality—that’s how I found Cutluxe.
Unfortunately, one of the sharpening stones arrived damaged during shipping, so I contacted their customer service team. Their response was much faster than expected, and they promptly provided a solution.
This clearly shows their professionalism and commitment to customers. I highly recommend buying with confidence. Cutluxe is a serious, reliable brand and definitely worth the investment.

In Dec/25, I ordered the 5" Santoku for myself. I love it SO much, I bought 2 others for gifts. 1) The knife is well weighted, comfortable to hold, easy to use, sharp, sharp, sharp and beautiful to look at. 2) I know the recipients will love their Santoku as much as I love mine. 3) The packaging of the knife is amazing which is important if you are giving it as a gift. Very classy. 4) The customer service at Cutluxe is stellar. I had an issue regarding a return (of my own doing) and their response time immediate, polite and professional. I was very impressed with this aspect of the business. I have told many friends about the quality of the product and the superior after-sales responses. Thank you Cutluxe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Santoku and a chef knife — do I need both?

They're built for different cutting styles. A chef knife has a curved belly designed for the rocking motion most Western cooking techniques use. A Santoku has a flatter blade profile designed for a straight push-cut — the motion most home cooks naturally default to without being trained in either direction. The Santoku is also shorter and lighter, which makes it faster and less tiring for everyday prep. Do you need both? Not necessarily — but many home cooks find they reach for the Santoku for daily vegetable and protein prep and keep the chef knife for tasks that need the extra blade length. If you only want one knife, it comes down to which cutting motion feels more natural to you. If you regularly cook a variety of cuisines and prep a lot of vegetables, the Santoku often becomes the more-used knife of the two.

What's the granton edge on the Santoku — and what does it actually do?

The granton edge refers to the oval hollows running along the length of the blade. As the knife moves through food, these create small air pockets between the blade surface and the ingredient — reducing friction and preventing thin slices from sticking to the side of the blade mid-cut. The result is cleaner, more consistent slices that stay intact rather than tearing or clumping together. For a Santoku specifically — which is frequently used for thin-slicing vegetables, fish, and boneless meat — the granton edge makes a real, noticeable difference versus a flat-sided blade. You spend less time pulling food off the knife and more time actually cutting. It's not a gimmick; it's one of the defining functional features of a well-made Santoku.

Is the 7" Santoku good for meat, or is it mainly a vegetable knife?

The "three virtues" the Santoku is named for are slicing, dicing, and mincing — across all food types, not just vegetables. The 7" blade handles boneless chicken breasts, fish fillets, pork tenderloin, and other boneless cuts with ease. The push-cut motion it's designed for works especially well on proteins that benefit from clean, single-stroke cuts rather than a sawing motion. Where it has limitations: it's not the right knife for breaking down bone-in cuts or working around joints — that's what a boning knife or a butcher knife is for. For boneless proteins and everyday kitchen prep, the Santoku performs across the full range without needing to switch knives.

How sharp is it out of the box, and how do I keep it that way?

The blade is hand-sharpened using the Honbazuke method at 14–16° per side — a precision technique that creates a fine, resilient edge sharp enough to slice paper cleanly out of the box. The German steel construction holds this edge well through regular daily use without needing constant maintenance. To keep it performing: run it across a honing rod before each use to realign the edge, hand-wash and dry immediately after use, and store on a magnetic strip, in a knife roll, or in a block. Avoid the dishwasher — the high heat and movement damage both the blade edge and the Pakkawood handle over time. With basic upkeep, this edge holds through months of regular cooking before needing a full sharpen.

What's the warranty — and what if it's not right for me?

Every Cutluxe knife is backed by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If your blade or handle ever fails due to a manufacturing issue, contact support@cutluxe.com with proof of purchase and the team will make it right — for the life of the product. Normal wear from use isn't covered, but manufacturing defects are. If the knife isn't right for any reason, Cutluxe offers a 30-day money-back guarantee — full refund or free exchange, no questions asked. That's enough time to take it through a full month of real cooking and decide for yourself. Most people don't send it back.

Decent quality for the price. Very sharp.

Super great product I’m so happy with this purchase I really recommend

Great from first slice. Recommend.

2-Piece Carving Set – Knife & Fork for Roast & Turkey

Before my very first purchase of a Cutluxe knife, I was very skeptical. I wasn't sure of the quality, the ability to hold an edge, and the true feel in my hand. So, last year I purchased the carving set way before our upcoming Thanksgiving dinner. I figured if the set didn't hold up to my needs and expectations, then I could return it with plenty of time to find something else. Today I have 15 Cutluxe knives in my set. I love the feel in my hands, the weight and balance of each knife, and how they hold an edge. For the price, these are the best knives on the market. Buyer Alert: If you purchase your Cutluxe knives individually like I have, be aware that Cutluxe does not offer a butcher block as an optional item; you have to buy a full set of knives that come with the block. Also, I tried their magnetic block, and immediately returned it. It was more annoying to deal with than its worth.

Great knife

Cur brisket like a hot knife through butter

Great addition to my other knives

GREAT KNIVES !!!! I've been a Chef for over 45 years, and at my home I have an extensive knife selection, Well when these knives arrived I was very Pleasantly surprised. They are the real deal, and Man are they Sharp. I love the Sharpening Steel too, it's a game changer. I've only had them 2 weeks, but I put them right to work and they delivered. So Thank you for a great Product at a very reasonable price. I hope you all do well, you have a great product there. Dave Wilson Round Rock Texas

Beautiful balance and a wonderful blade for chopping and dicing !!

The perfect set....I already own the 12"brisket knife...but I ordered the BBQ set because I needed a new carving set...love it!!

Just like many other Chinese made decent quality knives; the handles are very solid but too heavy. The balance is off, but quality for the money is there.
