The Fuji Cutlery Kurenai Santoku knife is an ideal all-purpose knife for the home or professional kitchen. From Fuji's top-of-the-line Reigetsu series, this is a high-quality, professionally constructed Japanese knife that expertly balances supreme sharpness with easy maintenance.
The santoku knife is a multi-purpose knife many Japanese chefs rely on as their primary knife in the kitchen. It can cut meat, seafood, fruit and vegetables, it can slice, dice, mince and chop. Because santoku blades are thinner and shorter than most western knife blades they are extra-light and you can avoid hand-fatigue.
As the most popular knife style in Japanese kitchens, you can be sure this is a fantastic style of knife for beginners and professionals alike.
The Kurenai's blade is made from extra sharp molybdenum vanadium steel, sandwiched between high-chrome stainless steel, leaving only the cutting edge exposed. This protects your blade from corrosion, chipping, and cracking. The beautiful reddish handle is laminated wood, and gives this knife a lot of style!

- YGYukie G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/26/23Love this knife
I needed a new knife for everyday.I am not a chef. Or expert on kitchen knives. But I do the usual daily cooking . I read another review for this knife which was helpful and a deciding factor. I didn’t want a wooden handle like my other Japanese knife. This one is perfect.
It is very sharp, and I can cut veggies ,like tomatoes , very thin. It’s not too big of a handle or blade for my small hands. And has a good weight to it, but not heavy.
Great buy for the price. Recommend this knife.
