The Satake Daichi Gyuto is an exceptional approximately 7.9-inch (20 cm) Japanese Damascus chef's knife that is the true centerpiece of the kitchen. This extremely versatile kitchen knife is perfectly suited for the precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, meats, and fish. Thanks to its pointed design, it reliably performs various filleting tasks as well, whether it's deboning chicken breasts, separating pork and beef from the bone, or even filleting smaller fish (although a dedicated filleting knife makes the job even easier). The optimal blade length ensures easy control and the handling of larger cutting surfaces. The blade is made of stunning Damascus steel, which not only gives the knife a beautiful pattern but also guarantees exceptional sharpness and durability. The Satake Daichi Gyuto is an indispensable tool for every amateur and professional chef, the true soul of the kitchen.
The gyuto (牛刀) knife appeared in the Meiji era (1868-1912), when Japan opened itself to Western culture. At that time, beef consumption also became widespread, creating a need for a special knife suitable for processing this type of meat. The gyuto was modeled after the Western-style chef's knife but with the characteristics of Japanese knives, such as a thinner blade and a sharper tip.
The word gyuto means "beef knife," and it was originally intended for this purpose. However, it soon became clear that the gyuto is an extremely versatile tool that is 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 combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern material use.
