Description

This 20cm chef knife (also called Gyuto in Japan) is the ultimate multi-purpose knife! Its standard blade enables you to cut, chop, chisel... You'll be at ease with a multitude of techniques thanks to it! It's effective on a wide range of foods, including meat (boneless), vegetables, fresh herbs...Let your creativity run wild with it!

Its damascened blade has a VG10 core, a top-of-the-range steel renowned in the cutlery world for its 1% carbon content. This high carbon content makes it much stronger over the long term, and ensures that its cutting edge stays sharp for a long time. It is surrounded by 34 layers of folded damascus (making a total of 69, as the blade core is counted), i.e. hard and soft steels alternating on its surface.

So, as well as giving it an original style, damascus adds just the right amount of hardness and flexibility to the blade, which is less brittle but still quite rigid. You can see the manufacturer's logo on the cutting surface on the right, proof of its authenticity.

The handle is made of micarta, an interesting composite material: it is resistant to high temperatures and humidity. It's made from a blend of resin and flax fibers, for a design finish between black and dark green (you can make out striations reminiscent of wood veins). It also features a rivet and a steel base to perfect its balance. Its straight shape makes it a pleasure to use, for right- and left-handed users alike.

This Satake knife is available in a small, elegant cardboard box, perfect as a gift for any cook. To care for the knife, run it under warm water and clean with a sponge and mild soap. Then wipe it dry and put it away, so as not to leave it in contact with moisture for long periods. Of course, it should not be put in the dishwasher to preserve its original appearance.

Satake Helios Japanese knives are resistant, high-performance and pleasant to hold. They are made in Seki, Japan, by a company founded in the mid-20th century by a Japanese master of arms who forged Samurai swords. Drawing on its many years of experience, the company now offers knives that combine ancestral know-how with cutting-edge technology, for optimum results.

This knife has been studied and designed to meet the needs of all chefs, especially those looking for quality! Discover our Japanese sharpening stones for blade maintenance!
