As you can see from our Santoku vs Chef Knife comparison table, these Japanese knives have quite a few things in common.
The main differences are that the Santoku knife has a larger angle of the curve and that it is much wider than the Chef Knives.
Santoku knives are much lighter and smaller than regular Western knives. They have a thinner blade that is incredibly sharp.
Both of the knives are multipurpose, have a curved blade and a pointed tip, as well as a convenient blade hole for your index finger for even more control.
The Santoku blade, however, is a lot wider than that of a Chef Knife. But it doesn’t make one knife better than the other. Your choice would simply depend on your preferences and what you find more convenient to use – a knife with a wider blade or a thinner one.
The blade is certainly the main difference between a Santoku knife and practically any other knife. No wonder a lot of professional chefs opt for this unique tool.
The Huusk Santoku knife is handmade by third-generation bladesmiths (just like the Huusk knife). One of the coolest Santoku knife features is the extraordinary stainless-steel blade – the craftsmen use the same materials from which the famous katanas were made out of!
The Japanese style Santoku knife would definitely become an incredible addition to your kitchen. But so will the Huusk knife. So, naturally, there can’t be a winner in the Santoku vs Chef Knife battle as they are both stunning.
