The Satake Megumi Santoku is an all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife, ideal for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables, meat, and fish. Its slightly curved edge supports rocking cuts, while the broad blade makes it easy to scoop up ingredients. The elevated handle design keeps your fingers away from the cutting board for added comfort and safety.
The Santoku (三徳, meaning "three virtues") emerged during Japan’s Shōwa era in response to changing eating habits. Designed as a hybrid of the Gyuto (meat) and Nakiri (vegetable) knives, it is now one of the most widely used knife types in both Japanese and Western kitchens.
The three key uses of the Santoku knife:
Slicing: For thin, even cuts of meat, fish, and vegetables
Dicing: The razor-sharp edge allows for precision cuts
Chopping: The balanced blade shape supports fast and efficient chopping of herbs and vegetables
The Satake Megumi Santoku represents Japanese precision and craftsmanship – a trusted everyday kitchen companion.
