Satake Sword Smith Chef's Knife - 18 cm - Versatile Japanese Chef's Knife

The Satake Sword Smith chef's knife is an exceptionally versatile 18 cm Japanese kitchen knife, a real master of the kitchen. It's ideal for the precise cutting of vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish. Thanks to its pointed design, it's also excellent for various filleting tasks, such as boning chicken breasts, separating pork and beef from the bone, and filleting smaller fish (although a specialist filleting knife will make the job even easier). The optimal blade length ensures easy control and the handling of larger cutting surfaces. This high-quality chef's knife, also known as a gyuto, is an indispensable tool for every amateur and professional cook, the true heart of the kitchen.

The gyuto (牛刀) knife appeared in the Meiji era (1868-1912), when Japan opened up to Western culture. At that time, beef consumption also became widespread, creating a demand for a special knife suitable for processing this meat. The gyuto was made in the style of the Western chef's knife, but with the characteristics of Japanese knives, such as a thinner blade and a sharper tip.

The word gyuto means "cow sword" and was originally intended for this very purpose. However, it soon became clear that the gyuto was an extremely versatile tool that was also perfectly suited for other kitchen tasks. Today, the gyuto is one of the most popular Japanese kitchen knives worldwide. The Satake Sword Smith chef's knife is the perfect harmony of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern kitchen needs.
