Anotations

Scope note:

Tools consisting of a straight blade, with or without hollows, and a handle, used in culinary applications. Santoku knives differ from chef's knives in that the straight edge of the blade only allows for a vertical chopping motion, whereas chef's knives feature a curved blade that can be rocked.
