Japanese knives with efficient blades
The set contains 2 essential everyday kitchen knives:
-1 9cm paring knife: for peeling and slicing small fruits and vegetables;
-1 18cm chef's knife: for slicing, chopping and mincing herbs, meat (boneless), fish (boneless) and vegetables.
These knives feature a stainless steel blade enriched with molybdenum and vanadium. This double enrichment improves the blade's resistance to impact and corrosion. The elements also increase the alloy's hardness to 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale. As a result, your Satake knives are easy to sharpen while retaining a long-lasting sharpness.
You can sharpen your Japanese knives regularly with a Sharpening steel, and run them over an occasional Sharpening stone to maintain a consistently sharp edge. Such hardness is the ideal compromise between efficient cutting and easy sharpening.
Both knives have been laser pre-sharpened to be ready for use immediately upon receipt. What's more, the blades have been polished for an elegant finish, adding a touch of refinement to your knives.
A comfortable, sturdy Western handle
These Japanese kitchen knives feature a handle made of black ABS, a synthetic material known for its strength. ABS is also resistant to moisture and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting durability.
The handles are shaped to suit both right- and left-handed cooks. The grip is ergonomically designed for optimum maneuverability, even during prolonged use.
Three stainless steel rivets attach the handles to the full tang blades, ensuring reliability. A stainless steel bolster connects the handle to the knife blade, ensuring optimum balance.
Knives should only be cleaned by hand with a non-abrasive sponge. After cleaning, dry immediately and store in a dry place. Do not put them in the dishwasher, and avoid soaking them in the sink.
