The origin of the santoku (三德) knife can be traced back to Japan, to the Showa period (1926-1989). Due to the increased consumption of red meat and the popularity of Western food, Japanese kitchen knives had to adapt to the changing environment. The immediate predecessor of the santoku is the bunka knife, which was formed from the fusion of the gyuto and nakiri knives.
