The Messermeister Custom 7 Inch Kullens Santoku is a popular Japanese chef's knife with the same versatility found in a traditional chef's knife. It has a thin taper for maximum precision when slicing vegetables, fish and meat. The handle is slightly smaller than a western Chef's knife. With edge geometry that is mostly flat, the Santoku is ideal for use on a cutting board.

I loved my first Messermeister knives, Meridian Elite, so much I had to add more! I opted for this Custom Santoku. The blade is light, agile and really sharp. The finish is unique and beautifully done. I’m looking forward to exchanging out the handles for the look I want. Awesome knives and customer service!

It's a really nice knife, I would definitely buy again! Cuts well and has a great feel!

I am absolutely in love with the shape, weight and comfortable feel of this knife. It has become my favorite all purpose knife but I really love it for veggie prep. Plus it's custom and my woodgrain handle gets so many compliments.

The best mix of a high-level culinary tool with a masculine look usually only found in foldable pocket knifes. These custom knifes are so amazing that I'm spending way too much time in the kitchen that I should.
