Great Little Knife

This scaled down Santoku knife is perfect for those "fiddly" small tasks like mincing garlic, slicing olives and cutting up broccoli.

The knife feels great in the hand and it leaves enough room under the handle so I don't bang my knuckles on the cutting board.

It was delivered on time and at a very reasonable price.

Thank you Hasu-Seizo!
