The Satake FAX-38 Santoku knife is an exceptionally versatile approximately 7.1-inch (18 cm) kitchen knife that is the perfect companion for everyday cooking. It is ideal for chopping vegetables and slicing both meat and fish. The characteristic recurved edge facilitates rocking motions for chopping, while the wide blade provides practical assistance for conveniently scooping up and transferring sliced ingredients. The comfortable, raised handle ensures a secure grip, preventing fingers from touching the cutting board or food.

The santoku (三徳) knife, whose name means "three virtues" (cutting, chopping, slicing), originated in Japan during the Showa era (1926-1989) as a response to changing eating habits. Its direct predecessor was the bunka knife.
