    Rany's absolute favourite, out of 13 knives she owns.

    Don't be deceived by its name; this hybrid model combines the best of Japanese santoku (multipurpose chef's knife) and nakiri (vegetable knife), making it Rany's top kitchen knife for home cooking. Here are four reasons why:

    1. Its Chinese cleaver blade design offers the heft and utility you need, along with the sharpness and control found in Western knife styles.
    2. Perfect for everything from slicing meat to mashing garlic, its flat blade ensures full contact with your cutting board, while its slight upward curve provides precise control for chopping, slicing, and dicing.
    3. Ideal for both professional chefs and first-time home cooks, it's heavy-duty, offers a secure grip, and is highly reliable. Its single-piece construction and full tang design make it one of the most hygienic knives available, guaranteed to last a lifetime.
    4. A modern twist of traditional Japanese knife design: sheer pleasure to look atĀ

      Tools of the trade

      This knife is dangerously sharp, has a nice weight to it and is a hybrid between a traditional chef's knife and a cleaver... So it has a bit of weight behind it; Pair this with the "knife skills 101" course and you are well on your way to become unstoppable in the kitchen.

      Boosted My Cooking Confidence!

      This knife makes me feel like a competent and capable! šŸ˜ Everything I cut with it turns out so much better. The grip and weight are perfect, fitting easily in my hand. It's also easy to care for. Together with cutting techniques I learned from Rany's knife skills class, it has been a game-changer.

      Simply Wonderful

      Bought from Rany's knife skills training and fell in love with it. I didnā€™t think I could cut so finely with such a big knife, and it is surprisingly accurate. It speeds up the whole cooking process. So does having such a large cutting board from Rany!

      Bought for knife skills training, and I'm impressed.

      Balanced, sturdy, and feels great. The weight in hand is just right for slicing tough veggies. Unlike Wustof, no over-engineering here.
