I have decent knife skills from cooking in professional kitchens in my youth and have been known to spend hundreds of dollars for knives. I was just looking for a sushi knife to learn with as I teach myself to make western sushi without dropping +$200 on a professional traditional Japanese sushi knife. At first I balked at the price $23.99, but as I read it had a traditional wood handle - my preference - and was made from a decent knife steel. So I pulled the trigger and the knife arrived this afternoon. Was I surprised when I took it out of the box. It is nicely made, sharp, and balanced. It felt good in my hand and sliced through paper like it was not there. Before it arrived, I thought I would replace this knife if I decided to make western sushi regularly after learning, but this is a keeper. Cannot wait to use it! Review: Perfect knife for the short chef! - This knife comes ultra sharp. The steel has a clean ring to it. It is surprisingly light in the hand and comfortable to use. I bought this knife for my wife who is on the shorter side. She says it fits her perfectly and its the one I see her use most often lately. ## Features - Mini Size Santoku Knife: Compare to ordinary knife, this short knife (5" long blade, 4.5" long handle) is more suitable for small hands people to cut vegetable meat fruit - Japanese Steel Kitchen Knife: 5Cr15Mov high carbon stainless steel blade plus 12Β° cutting angle makes SHAN ZU chef knife extremly sharp - Lightweight But Well Balance: This only 4-ounce heavy cooking knife is friendly to people with weak wrist strength or lady, less pressure needed to chop food - Ergonomic Red Sandalwood Handle: Solid and durable nature wood handle, octagonal shape handle is better for comfortable grip, and assist in precise cutting - Giftbox Included & Warranty: Professional small santoku knife comes with a beautiful giftbox, great gift choice for Christmas Birthday Father's day Mother's day.

It is surprisingly light in the hand and comfortable to use. I bought this knife for my wife who is on the shorter side. She says it fits her perfectly and its the one I see her use most often lately. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value. *by A***R on February 21, 2026* I have been using it for months and it is an excellent knife. When it comes to resharpening it, you can tell the metal quality is good. It's sharpens quickly and holds it's edge for a while. Cheap knives don't do that. ## Frequently Bought Together - SHAN ZU 10 Inch Sushi Knife, High Carbon Japanese Steel Sashimi Knife, Japanese Knives for Fish Filleting & Slicing, Sushi Making Knives with Red Sandalwood Handle - CHOI's 1(Daechun) Roasted Seaweed, Gim, Sushi Nori - (50 full sheets)- Gold Grade- Vegan, Keto, Gluten Free, Full of Fiber, Vitamin, Mineral, High protein, Omega 3's- Product of Korea - Nishiki Premium Sushi Rice, White, 10 Pound (Pack of 1) - Package May Vary --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/698337461-shan-zu-5-inch-santoku-knife-for-small-hands-japanese](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/698337461-shan-zu-5-inch-santoku-knife-for-small-hands-japanese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
