Best for

The santoku does the heavy lifting: slicing, dicing and push-cutting vegetables, boneless meat and fish. Gotham Steel calls the smaller blade a chef knife, but at 4 inches it works like a paring or utility knife for trimming, avocado and fruit. There's no bread knife or long slicer in the box. If you're deciding between blade styles, our Santoku vs Chef Knife guide breaks down how each one moves.

Questions

What sizes are the Gotham Steel Pro Cut knives? A 7-inch santoku and a 4-inch chef knife.

What are the scallops on the blade for? They cut down on food sticking to the blade, so slices of cheese release cleanly instead of clinging.

What steel is it made from? Japanese high carbon stainless steel with a stainless cutting core, which Gotham Steel lists for its anti-rust ability.

Is this a full knife set? No. It's two knives, so pair it with a bread knife if you slice a lot of crusty loaves.
