Satake Traditional PP 17cm Japanese nakiri knife

An ergonomic, lightweight handle

The knife features an oval-shaped handle designed to fit the palm of your hand. This shape is both ergonomic and comfortable, making your knife suitable for prolonged cutting, since you won't feel any fatigue.

The knife's handle is made of PP, or polypropylene, a resin known for its lightness and strength. Also resistant to grease and water, the PP handle is ideal for use in the kitchen, as it is easy to clean.

A stainless steel ring completes the handle and joins it to the blade. This ring firmly attaches the handle to the tang of the knife, ensuring optimum balance and a perfect seal.

To clean this Satake knife, wash only by hand with a soft sponge. Dry immediately after washing and store in a dry place. Do not soak in the sink or put in the dishwasher.

The ideal nakiri for cutting vegetables

This nakiri knife features a high, rectangular blade for fast, vertical cutting of vegetables and herbs. Food is perfectly sliced, with professional-style cutting. With a blade measuring 17cm, you can cut a wide range of foods, provided they are not hard or frozen.

The blade is made of stainless steel reinforced with molybdenum and vanadium, which improves its resistance to shock and corrosion. With a hardness of 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale, this stainless steel ensures long-lasting sharpness and easy sharpening of your Satake knife.

When necessary, you can regularly sharpen your knife with a shotgun, or sharpen it more occasionally with a stone, to keep it at its sharpest. Such hardness offers an excellent balance between ease of sharpening and cutting performance.
