Santoku translates to "three virtues" or "three uses". Culinarily speaking, those 'virtues' include: slicing, dicing, and chopping! In Japan, this is the general go-to chef knife for almost everything: cutting meat, slicing cheese, chopping or dicing fruits, vegetables and nuts, mincing herbs, and gathering food  from a cutting board.
