Knife set of 2 Satake Tsuchime japanese knives chef + deba

Versatile kitchen knives

The Satake set includes the following 2 knives:

- 1 deba knife 12cm (one-sided cutting edge for right-handers)

- 1 21cm chef's knife

Japanese knives feature a stainless steel blade, enriched with molybdenum and vanadium for greater resistance to shock and corrosion. With a hardness of 57 HRC on the Rockwell scale, the alloy ensures easy-to-sharpen knives with a long-lasting edge.

These knives have been laser pre-sharpened for immediate use as soon as you receive them. Their blades feature a hammered finish, known as Tsuchime, which prevents wet or greasy food from sticking. Finally, the blades have been polished and engraved with kanji, giving them an elegant, traditional look.

When necessary, you can sharpen your knives regularly with a Sharpening steel or sharpen them with a stone to keep them at their sharpest. A hardness of 57 HRC represents a good balance between cutting performance and ease of sharpening.

Ideal knives for long cuts

These knives feature handles made from magnolia wood, a precious species with a light, almost creamy hue. Traditionally used for Japanese sword scabbards, magnolia wood is appreciated for its soft touch, lightness, smoothness and resistance to humidity.

The handles are cut in an oval shape designed to ideally fit the palm of your hand. This comfortable, ergonomic shape makes the knives suitable for long cutting sessions, as the sensation of fatigue is reduced.

The handles are complemented by black synthetic bolsters that join the blades. The bolsters provide optimum balance to the knives.

To clean your Satake knives, wash only by hand with a non-abrasive sponge. Dry immediately after cleaning and store in a dry place, such as the knife case. Do not put them in the dishwasher or leave them to soak in the sink.
