Satake Ame is a beautiful series of knives designed with power, strength, balance and tradition.
The design of the blade is inspired by the Japanese Ame, which means rain.
The blade´s so-called "Rain Pattern" is not only beautiful but also makes that raw products, such as potatoes, are not sucked onto the blade when cutting.
- 18 cm Santoku
- Hand-tapped blade of 5 layers of AUS10 steel
- The hardness of the blade is 60-61 HRC
- Bolster & end piece in stainless steel
- Incredibly beautiful handle by Vril* from among other larch, peach trees, camphor & maple
NOTE! All handles are completely unique. See image example.
- Santoku is perhaps the model of Japanese knives that has established itself best in the rest of the world. The design varies a lot, but it often has a higher profile than Western chef's knives (Gyutos) and a stronger rounding at the tip. It is very common for chefs to use their Santoku for pretty much everything when it comes to cooking. A santoku is excellent for both vegetables, roots, fish, poultry and meat.
* Vril - or masur as it is also called, is an outgrowth on a tree where the fibers go in different directions instead of vertically. Vril / Masur wood is much sought after because it is incredibly beautiful and harder than ordinary wood.
