Handcrafted in Japan, this 8-inch chef's knife has a distinctive hammered blade that is both beautiful and practical.

Normally $230, you can get it for $60 less right now.

Santoku knives are designed with small dimples, or cullens, on the blade to prevent food from sticking. That's one of the reasons they're so handy for speedy chopping, dicing, and mincing. Executive Chef Kyle St. John of Harvest at The Ranch at Laguna Beach called this "a great knife for the price," and now it's just $100.

For a more nimble blade with the same ability to slice without squishing, Shun's Hikari utility knife is a great option. The 6-inch knife has an edge that is hand-sharpened to a 16-degree angle, which one user said was able to achieve "paper thin tomato slices." It also has a lovely "hornet's nest" blade pattern from 71 micro layers of high-carbon, high-chromium stainless steel.
