SATAKE VIA KITCHEN JAPANESE SANTOKU KNIFE - 18 CM - THE IDEAL KITCHEN COMPANION
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This Santoku kitchen knife with an 18 cm blade is a perfect example of traditional Japanese knife making meeting modern ergonomics. Whether for professional chefs or demanding home cooks, this model is an essential staple in every kitchen.
Why is the Santoku shape so good?
The word "Santoku" means "three virtues" in Japanese, referring to the knife's three main functions: slicing, dicing, and mincing. This type is the Japanese alternative to the classic European chef's knife, yet it excels in several ways:
- Precision: The wide blade and straighter cutting edge allow for more accurate, paper-thin slicing.
- Comfort: The 18 cm blade length is an ideal size: long enough for larger meats or cabbage, but compact enough not to be cumbersome for finer tasks.
- Versatility: The Santoku blade is not only excellent for cutting but, due to its width, also for transferring chopped ingredients.
Materials and Design
The blade is made of AICHI AUS-8A stainless steel, covered with a special black oxide layer. This coating not only gives the knife a stunning matte appearance but also increases corrosion resistance and prevents food from sticking to the blade during cutting. The 58-59 HRC hardness guarantees that the knife maintains its razor-sharp edge for a long time.
A touch of nature: Ash wood handle
One of the most attractive elements of the Satake Via Kitchen series is the handle made of genuine ash wood. Ash wood is not only aesthetically outstanding with its beautiful grain, but also:
- Extremely durable: Due to the density of the wood, it resists moisture and daily wear and tear.
- Ergonomic and natural: It provides a perfect grip that remains comfortable even during long work sessions and does not slip in the hand.
This Satake Santoku is a perfect solution for anyone. An excellent secondary knife for chefs or for specific tasks, while for home use, it can be the single "main knife" capable of handling 90% of kitchen tasks. It is a meeting of Japanese minimalism and functional design that makes every cut an experience.
