Satake Traditional PP 12cm Japanese paring knife

A handy, comfortable handle

The knife's handle is made of polypropylene (PP), a resin renowned for being both strong and lightweight. This material is also resistant to water and grease, making it ideal for a kitchen knife as it facilitates cleaning.

The handle is worked into an oval shape to fit the palm of your hand perfectly. Its comfortable, ergonomic design ensures great comfort, making the knife ideal for prolonged cutting sessions. Fatigue is minimized.

A stainless steel ring finishes the handle, linking it to the blade. It firmly attaches the handle to the tang of the knife, providing good balance and optimum watertightness.

To clean this Satake knife, use only a non-abrasive sponge and wash by hand. Dry immediately after cleaning and store in a dry place. Do not soak in the sink or put in the dishwasher.

A short but effective blade

This Japanese paring knife features a 12cm blade perfect for working with small fruits and vegetables. Slice, slice or peel food with ease! Just be careful not to cut hard or frozen foods, to avoid damaging the blade.

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

When necessary, you can regularly sharpen the blade with a shotgun or occasionally sharpen it with a stone to maintain its high-performance edge. This hardness of 57 HRC ensures an ideal compromise between cutting performance and ease of sharpening.
