Satake Megumi Tsuchime Gyuto Japanese Chef Knife - 21 cm - The Versatile Master of the Kitchen

The Satake Megumi Tsuchime Gyuto is an incredibly versatile, 21 cm Japanese chef's knife, a true kitchen essential. This knife perfectly blends modern manufacturing technology with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Although the blade is machine-forged, each piece is manually inspected to meet the highest quality standards.

The Tsuchime Technique

• The most outstanding feature of this knife is the Tsuchime (锤目) forging technique, which creates small, hammered depressions on the upper part of the blade. This hammered surface is not only aesthetic but also highly functional, as it reduces friction between the blade and the food. As a result:

• Sliced food doesn't stick to the blade, making cutting smoother and more precise.

• Work is more efficient and faster, as there's no need to constantly remove stuck pieces.

Versatile Use

• The Gyuto is a true beef knife, but as its name suggests, it is excellent for almost any kitchen task. It is the ideal choice for precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish.

• Ideal for cutting tasks: The optimal blade length ensures easy handling and the ability to manage larger cutting surfaces.

• Filleting and deboning: Thanks to its pointed design, it's excellent for various filleting tasks, such as deboning chicken breasts and filleting smaller fish (although a specialized filleting knife makes the work even easier).

• As a member of the reliable Satake Megumi Tsuchime product family, the Satake Megumi Tsuchime Gyuto is an indispensable tool for every hobby and professional chef, a true soul of the kitchen. The word gyuto (牛刀) means "beef knife," and it was indeed originally intended for this purpose. However, it quickly proved to be an incredibly versatile tool, and today it is one of the most popular Japanese kitchen knives worldwide.
