SATAKE SATORU TSUCHIME GYUTO 21 CM JAPAN CHEF'S KNIFE – THE VERSATILE KITCHEN KNIFE

The Satake Satoru Gyuto Tsuchime is an exceptionally versatile Japanese kitchen knife, an essential tool for every hobbyist and professional chef. This 21 cm chef's knife is ideal for the precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, meats, and fish. Thanks to its pointed design, it can also handle various filleting tasks, such as deboning chicken breast, separating pork and beef from the bone, and filleting smaller fish (although the job is even easier with a dedicated filleting knife). The optimal blade length allows for easier handling and cutting of even larger surfaces. A high-quality Gyuto, or chef's knife, is considered the "soul of the kitchen."

The Tsuchime Hammered and Polished Finish

• The special "Tsuchime" (hammered) pattern on the knife blade is not only aesthetic but also highly functional.

• These small indentations create air pockets between the knife and the food, which prevents slices from sticking to the blade. This makes cutting easier and more efficient.

• This surface is complemented by the polishing of the entire blade, which not only ensures a clean, elegant look but also provides maximum sharpness and the perfect cutting experience.

Tradition and Modern Technology

• The origin of the Gyuto (牛刀) knife can be traced back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when Japan opened its doors to Western culture.

• At that time, beef consumption also became widespread in the country, necessitating a knife suitable for processing this type of meat. The Gyuto was designed after the Western-style chef's knife, but with the thinner blade and sharper tip characteristic of Japanese knives.

• The word Gyuto means "beef knife," and it was indeed originally developed for this purpose.

• However, it soon became evident that the Gyuto is an extremely versatile tool that is excellent for other kitchen tasks as well. Today, the Gyuto is one of the most popular Japanese kitchen knives worldwide.

• The Satake Satoru Gyuto is the perfect blend of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the demands of the modern kitchen.
