The sturdy, lightweight knife
This knife has a handle made of polypropylene (PP), a resin known for its lightness and strength, and its resistance to grease and water. In the kitchen, polypropylene is an excellent choice for its ease of cleaning.
The handle has a typically Japanese D-shape, giving the knife enhanced balance. This may seem surprising at first, but it suits both left- and right-handed cooks. It's a comfortable, handy shape that makes the knife suitable for extended cutting sessions, as it reduces the feeling of fatigue.
A stainless steel ring finishes the handle and joins it to the blade. It firmly attaches the handle to the tang of the knife, guaranteeing optimum balance and watertightness.
Your Satake knife should only be cleaned with a non-abrasive sponge. After washing, dry immediately and store in a dry place. It must not be left to soak in the sink, and is not dishwasher-safe.
A precise blade for thin slices of fish
The sashimi knife has a 21cm blade characterized by its length and narrowness. This enables it to slice fish with exceptional precision. Salmon, sea bream or tuna: you can prepare sashimi worthy of a professional.
The blade is made of stainless steel reinforced with molybdenum and vanadium, improving its resistance to corrosion and shock. With these elements, the steel reaches a hardness of 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale, guaranteeing your Satake knife a long-lasting edge and easy maintenance.
When necessary, you can sharpen your knife with a stone, or sharpen it more regularly with a sharpening gun, to keep it at its sharpest. Such hardness ensures an excellent balance between cutting performance and ease of maintenance.
