Classic Ikon 5" Hollow Edge Santoku

I was a bit skeptical about a 5-inch santoku at first, but the hollow edge keeps thin slices of ginger from sticking to the blade. It's become my go-to for quick herb chopping and small veggie prep.

This 5-inch blade is so nimble for mincing garlic and shallots, and the hollow edge keeps thin slices of carrot from sticking to the side. It feels perfectly balanced in my hand, making prep work feel effortless. I've been reaching for it constantly since it arrived.

The hollow edge really makes a difference—onion slices come off clean without sticking to the blade, and the weight feels perfectly balanced for quick, repetitive chopping. I've reached for it every single night since it arrived.
