The Santoku is the everyday Japanese kitchen knife — flatter blade than the Western chef knife, push-cut motion instead of the rocking cut. Cooks who commit to Santoku-style chopping usually end up wanting both sizes: a 7-inch for the bulk of daily prep (vegetable chopping, protein slicing, herb work in volume), and a 5-inch for detail cuts where the 7-inch overshoots (garlic slicing, shallot dicing, small herbs, tight cutting boards). Most kitchens get to the two-Santoku setup gradually — buy the 7-inch first, use it for a year, add the 5-inch when the gap becomes obvious. This set delivers both in one buy. Both blades are forged from high-carbon German steel, hand-sharpened to a 14–16° razor edge, set in triple-riveted Pakkawood handles with full-tang construction. The Granton blade is the defining feature: shallow hollow dimples along both sides reduce surface contact with wet ingredients, starchy vegetables, and soft proteins. Food releases cleanly off the blade instead of clinging. For cooks who don't yet own a Santoku, the 7″ Santoku Knife standalone ($39.99) is the right first purchase — try the push-cut motion before committing to both sizes. For cooks who already use a Santoku and know it suits them, this set is the natural upgrade. Lifetime warranty on both blades.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 7″ and 5″ Santoku?

Different sizes for different cuts. The 7-inch is the everyday workhorse — the standard size for general prep, comparable in role to an 8-inch Western chef knife. Wide enough cutting surface to handle vegetables, proteins, and herbs in bulk. The 5-inch is the smaller alternative — better for detail work, smaller cutting boards, smaller produce, and tight prep spaces. Same blade design on both: flat profile (minimal belly), Granton edge with hollow dimples for clean food release, full-tang Pakkawood handle. The functional difference is purely size — the 7-inch handles more in fewer strokes, the 5-inch gives more control on smaller cuts. Most kitchens with both reach for the 7-inch more often (rough estimate: 70-80% of cuts), but the 5-inch is the right tool for the remaining 20-30% where the bigger blade overshoots.

2-piece set vs buying the 7″ standalone first?

Both paths work. The buy-the-7"-first path makes sense for cooks who haven't used a Santoku before and want to test if the push-cut motion suits their style without committing to two blades. At $39.99 for the 7" standalone, it's a low-risk test purchase. If the Santoku style works, add the 5" later (around $25–30, exact pricing varies). The buy-the-set path makes sense for cooks who already know Santoku-style chopping suits them — either from prior experience, from owning a Santoku before, or from cooks they know who use Santokus regularly. The bundle at $59.99 saves modestly vs buying both standalone over time. Either path lands in the same place; the difference is mostly pacing and cash flow. For first-time Santoku buyers, the standalone 7" is the safer move. For committed Santoku users, the set saves a step.

Why two Santokus instead of a chef knife + paring knife?

Different cutting philosophies. The chef-knife + paring-knife pairing covers the Western kitchen approach: long blade for bulk prep (chef knife, used with the rocking cut), small blade for detail work (paring knife, used in hand or on the board). It's the most common kitchen setup and works well. The two-Santoku pairing covers the Japanese kitchen approach: a wide medium blade for bulk prep (7″ Santoku, used with the push-cut motion), a smaller version of the same blade for detail work (5″ Santoku). Same cutting motion across both blades, same edge geometry, just different sizes. Cooks who prefer push-cut over rocking-cut find the two-Santoku setup more cohesive. Cooks who prefer the rocking cut and don't want to switch their motion are better off with the chef + paring setup. Neither is objectively better — it's a matter of which cutting style suits your hand and prep rhythm.

How do I care for them?

Standard quality-knife protocol across both blades. Hand-wash with mild soap immediately after each use — wet vegetables, citrus, and tomato acid corrode the steel faster than expected if left overnight. Towel-dry both blades and handles fully. Store with the edges protected: magnetic strip on the wall, dedicated knife block, or blade-guard sheaths in a drawer. Don't leave loose in a drawer with other utensils — the blades nick each other. Avoid the dishwasher across both. Avoid glass and ceramic cutting boards — they chip the edge regardless of which blade is in use. Wooden and plastic cutting boards work fine. Hone the edges with a sharpening rod every week or so to keep them aligned; the 10″ Sharpening Rod ($29.99) handles both blades easily. Full sharpening cadence: once a year for most home cooks. The Whetstone Sharpening Kit handles that work. Same care across both blades — they're built identically.

What's the warranty, and is this a good gift?

Lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects on both blades for the original purchaser. Manufacturing defects (handle separation, blade snapping, surface flaws) are covered. Normal edge wear, dishwasher damage, chip damage from glass cutting boards, and bent tips from misuse aren't covered. Non-transferable; email proof of purchase to support@cutluxe.com to register. Beyond the warranty, 30-day money-back guarantee covers everything else — full refund or exchange, no questions asked. As a gift: works well at the $59.99 price point for a thoughtful mid-tier gift — substantial enough to feel real, focused enough not to overwhelm. Right for a cook who already prefers Japanese-style prep, or a serious cook setting up a new kitchen who wants both Santoku sizes from the start. Less right for someone who's never used a Santoku before (the standalone 7" at $39.99 is a better test gift). Ships in matched packaging suitable for gift-giving as-is.

When it comes to dependable kitchen workhorses, santoku knives don’t mess around. Born from Japanese culinary tradition and built for today’s real-world prep, the Cutluxe Artisan Series Santoku Knife Set brings two essential blades into one no-nonsense package.

Santoku Knives — Versatile Japanese Design for Everyday Prep

Santoku knives are prized for their distinctive blade profile: a sheepsfoot tip, a slightly curved edge, and a wide blade that gives you full contact with the board.

They’re great for vegetables, sure—but also excel with proteins, herbs, and more. This is the knife you reach for 9 times out of 10.

Japanese Santoku Knives — Precision, Balance, and Clean Cuts

Clean cuts, tight control, no wasted motion. That’s how a good chef knife earns its keep.

This isn’t a drawer-filler set. It’s the right two blades for 90% of your kitchen work. The pairing gives you flexibility—one for finesse, one for volume. A 2 piece santoku knife set keeps your flow tight and your station clean. Fewer tools. Faster prep.

Whether you’re cooking for two or batch prepping for the week, these knives cover what matters most—without missing a beat.
