Satake Satoru Gyuto 21 cm Japanese Chef's Knife | Versatile Kitchen Knife
The Satake Satoru Gyuto is an exceptionally versatile Japanese kitchen knife, an indispensable tool for every amateur and professional chef. This 8.3-inch (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 breasts, separating pork and beef from the bone, and filleting smaller fish (although a dedicated filleting knife makes the job even easier). The optimal blade length allows for easier control and the cutting of even larger surfaces. A good quality gyuto, or chef's knife, is the "soul of the kitchen."
The origin of the gyuto (牛刀) knife can be traced back to the Meiji era (1868-1912), when Japan opened its doors to Western culture. At this time, beef consumption also became widespread in the country, and a knife suitable for processing this type of meat became necessary. The gyuto was designed based on 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 originally developed for this purpose. However, it soon became apparent that the gyuto is an extremely versatile tool that can also be excellently used for other kitchen tasks. Today, the gyuto is one of the most popular Japanese kitchen knives worldwide. The Satake Satoru Gyuto is the perfect combination of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and the needs of the modern kitchen.
