Cain & Abel "Adam" 210mm Santoku
Adam is the same Santoku shape as our Joseph but on a bigger scale - a sort of cross between a Gyuto and a Santoku. This delightful big boy is what chefs use, and they use it for everything—from fine-dicing herbs and slicing mushrooms to carving a big piece of roast beef or portioning a whole chicken. This sized blade is perfect for a more experienced user or someone serious about cooking significant cuts of meat.
Blade Length: 210mm
Width: 54mm
Total Length: 354mm
Weight: 150g
Handle: Padauk

Each knife is carefully shaped, heat-treated, ground, and sharpened by skilled artisans in Vietnam. These aren’t mass-produced. They’re hand-finished with care and precision, made to feel solid, sharp, and satisfying in the kitchen.
The result is a knife that responds to the way you cook. It holds its edge well and becomes more personal the more you use it.
What is Carbon Steel?
Carbon steel is a traditional material used in professional kitchens around the world. It is known for being sharp, strong, and easy to maintain with a quick hone. Over time, it develops a patina that tells the story of how it's been used. It’s a natural part of the material and often loved by chefs for the character it brings.
Carbon steel does need a little care. Keep it dry between uses, don’t leave it soaking in water, and sharpen it from time to time. We include care instructions with every knife so your customers know exactly what to do.
Each knife features:
• High-carbon steel blade
• Stunning hardwood handle made from Padauk
• A balance of form and function that feels good in the hand
Cain & Abel Knives are designed for both professional chefs and passionate home cooks. They’re made to be used, loved, and passed down.
