Satake Satoru Japanese Slicing Knife - 21 cm - For Precise Slicing
The Satake Satoru Japanese slicing knife is a specially designed 21 cm kitchen knife that's ideal for perfectly smooth slicing of poultry, various roasts, and tasty ham. The long, narrower, and thinner blade allows for precise, even cuts across the entire surface. Traditional, thicker knives often snag in the meat and tear it into shreds, making serving difficult and not providing an aesthetically pleasing result. The Satake Satoru slicing knife guarantees professional-quality slices at home.
Slicing knives, including ham knives, likely emerged in the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century. Ham, as a preserved meat, was a significant food source in Europe at the time, and special knives were needed for its proper presentation. The earliest ham knives were probably simple, hand-forged tools with a broad blade and a pointed tip.
There are several theories regarding the origin of ham knives. Some suggest that ham knives originated in Germany, where the term "Schinkenmesser" was already in use in the 14th century. Others refer to the French term "couteau à jambon," which dates back to the 16th century. Additionally, there's the idea that ham knives developed in England, where the term "ham knife" was first recorded in the 17th century. The Satake Satoru slicing knife is a masterpiece of modern Japanese forging, combining tradition with the latest technologies for the perfect slicing experience.
