Satake Tsuchime: an affordable, versatile Japanese range
The Satake Tsuchime range has been designed to make authentic Japanese knives accessible to as many people as possible, without compromising on efficiency or aesthetics. It is aimed at both amateurs curious to discover Japanese cutlery and regular cooks looking for reliable tools that are easy to maintain and pleasant to use on a daily basis. Satake Cutlery, a renowned Japanese company, offers knives with a well-balanced positioning, combining tradition, simplicity and performance.
A wide selection of knives for all uses
The Satake Tsuchime range stands out for its variety of models. It includes the great staples of Japanese cuisine, such as the nakiri for vegetables, the versatile santoku, the gyuto for everyday cuts, as well as more compact knives like the office and the universal. This diversity makes it possible to equip yourself progressively or to compose a coherent set, adapted to your cooking style and cutting habits.
Each knife retains the same philosophy: easy handling, efficient cutting and a design conceived for regular use, whether in the home kitchen or for more intensive preparations.
Efficient, easy-to-maintain blades
The blades in the Satake Tsuchime range are made from stainless steel enriched with molybdenum and vanadium, an alloy renowned for its resistance to impact and corrosion. With a hardness of around 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale, these knives offer an excellent compromise between edge retention and ease of sharpening. They are ideal for users who wish to maintain good cutting performance without excessive maintenance requirements.
The blades are laser-sharpened to be ready for use right from the start. The Tsuchime hammered finish, characteristic of the range, limits the adherence of food when cutting, while polishing and engraved kanji add an elegant traditional touch.
Comfortable, lightweight traditional handles
Satake Tsuchime knives feature handles made from magnolia wood, a light-colored species traditionally used in Japan, notably for sword scabbards. This wood is appreciated for its lightness, softness to the touch and good resistance to humidity. Its oval shape naturally hugs the palm of the hand, guaranteeing optimum comfort, even during prolonged sessions in the kitchen.
A black synthetic bolster forms the transition between blade and handle, contributing to the knife's overall balance. The overall ergonomic design is simple and effective, true to the Japanese spirit, and suitable for both right- and left-handed users.
