Satake Megumi Gyuto Japanese Chef's Knife - 21 cm - The Versatile Master of the Kitchen
The Satake Megumi Gyuto is an exceptionally versatile approximately 8.3-inch (21 cm) Japanese chef's knife that is a true staple in the kitchen. It is ideal for the precise cutting of vegetables, fruits, meats, and fish. Thanks to its pointed design, it is also excellent for 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 ensures easy control and the handling of larger cutting surfaces. This high-quality chef's knife, also known as a gyuto, is a member of the reliable Satake Megumi product line and 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 Megumi Gyuto is the perfect harmony of traditional Japanese craftsmanship and modern kitchen needs.
