The Best Chef Knife, Santoku Knife, and Other Knives for Every Kitchen Need, According to Line Cooks | Eater

"A recently graduated culinary student working the line relies on a seven-inch Mercer santoku from her school kit. The santoku’s flat edge and curved tip suit an abrupt, straight-down cutting motion (rather than a rocking motion), making it an all-purpose, vegetable-friendly choice that’s shorter and lighter — well suited to petite cooks." - Rachel Baron
