Satake Noushu Masamune Santoku Kitchen Knife 18 cm – Japanese Quality in Your Kitchen
The Satake Noushu Masamune Santoku Japanese kitchen knife is a true all-rounder in the kitchen, perfect for chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and even fish. This 18 cm Santoku knife lives up to its name, "knife of three virtues" (slicing, dicing, mincing), offering exceptional versatility for both professional and home kitchens. The characteristic curved tip and wide blade combination make it easy to mince with a rocking motion, while also providing practical help for conveniently gathering and transferring chopped ingredients. The comfortable, elevated handle ensures your fingers never touch the cutting board or food, allowing you to use it with maximum safety and confidence while cooking.
The heart of the knife is the AUS-8A stainless steel blade, which provides outstanding edge retention and corrosion resistance, while being easy to sharpen and maintain. This Japanese quality steel guarantees long-term reliability during everyday, intensive kitchen use. Complementing the blade, the handle is crafted from pakkawood. The pakkawood handle not only lends an elegant and modern appearance to the knife with its rich grain, but also provides an excellent, non-slip grip, is comfortable in the hand, and is extremely durable.
The origin of the santoku (三徳) knife dates back to Japan, to the Showa era (1926-1989), when the increasing influence of Western cuisine and red meat consumption necessitated a more versatile knife. The name "santoku" refers to the knife's three main uses:
- Slicing: Excellent for thinly and evenly slicing meats, fish, and vegetables.
- Dicing: The straight edge of the santoku blade allows for extremely precise dicing.
- Mincing: The special shape and optimal weight of the blade significantly facilitate the fast and efficient mincing of vegetables and herbs.
The Satake Noushu Masamune Santoku represents Japanese precision and quality, a reliable companion for daily cooking, whether in a professional or home kitchen.
