Opinel Parallele 7" Multipurpose Santoku Knife

The flat-backed workhorse many chefs reach for without thinking about it.

The Parallele santoku stays rigid and stable through a long stretch of chopping, which is what makes it so good for cutting and trimming. X50CrMoV15 steel with a satin finish, set into a varnished beech handle, made in Portugal and 5.1 ounces in the hand, so it stays comfortable well past the point where a heavier knife starts to argue with you.
