The santoku (三徳) knife, whose name means "three virtues", originated in Japan during the Showa era (1926-1989) as a response to changing dietary habits. Its direct predecessor was the bunka knife, inspired by the gyuto and nakiri knives. The name "santoku" refers to the knife's three main areas of use: slicing (thinly cutting meat, fish, and vegetables), dicing (the straight edge of the blade allows for precise dicing), and chopping (the blade's shape and weight make it easier to chop vegetables and herbs). For this reason, it is often called the "knife of three virtues". The popularity of the santoku spread worldwide at the end of the 20th century, and today it is considered one of the fundamental types of kitchen knives. The Satake Unique Sai Damascus santoku knife is the perfect harmony of traditional Japanese elegance and modern kitchen functionality.
