The Satake Daichi Gyuto is an exceptional 20 cm Japanese Damascus chef's knife, the true centrepiece of any kitchen. This remarkably versatile kitchen knife is perfectly suited for the precise cutting of vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish.

The optimal blade length ensures easy control and the handling of larger cutting surfaces. The blade is crafted from stunning Damascus steel, which not only lends the knife a beautiful pattern but also guarantees outstanding sharpness and durability. The Satake Daichi 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 Daichi Gyuto Damascus chef's knife is a stunning blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern material use.
