Thread: New Sakai Takayuki

I got this new santoku last week. Normally I don’t have a lot of interest in this type of knife. The tip is usually blunt and the knife is usually stubby. The shape of this one was different. It was sharp out of the box but was hair popping sharp when I gave it a tune up. It is perfect for mincing shallots.

Now I have to GOOGLE shallots.

Okay,,, got it

"Shallots, although they look nothing like them, are often confused with scallions. They are both a type of onion, but whereas a scallion is long and thin with green leaves and a white tip, the shallot is bulb-shaped, with copper, reddish, or gray skin. It looks rather like a small, elongated onion, but has a milder flavor with a hint of garlic. "
