Description
xCompact, capable Santoku knife for small hands
The SHAN ZU 5 Inch Santoku Knife is designed with a shorter blade and slim handle to fit comfortably in smaller grips. At about 5 inches on the blade and a 4.5-inch handle, it feels balanced and responsive, making everyday chopping tasks feel natural for users who prefer a lighter touch. The knife weighs roughly 4 ounces, which can help reduce the effort required during longer prep sessions while maintaining precise control.
Sharp, durable blade for everyday prep
The blade uses 5Cr15Mov high carbon stainless steel and features a 12° cutting edge. This combination aims to deliver a crisp, clean slice on vegetables, fruit, and light proteins, while the edge geometry supports confident, steady cuts rather than rough hacks.
- Effortless precision with a compact blade designed for small hands

Thoughtful design for comfort and precision
The ergonomic red sandalwood handle is octagonal, offering a secure, comfortable grip that helps steady your cut. The balance between the blade and handle supports controlled, accurate slicing, from delicate herbs to denser produce.
