Satake Satoru Japanese Carving Knife – 21 cm

 Precision Cutting with Japanese Quality

The Satake Satoru Japanese carving knife is a specially designed 21 cm kitchen knife, ideal for perfectly smooth slicing of poultry, roasts, and delicious ham. Its long, narrow, and thin blade enables precise, even cuts across the entire surface.

Traditional, thicker knives often get stuck in the meat and shred it into fibers, making plating difficult and resulting in an unattractive finish. The Satake Satoru carving knife guarantees professional-quality slices right at home.

History of Carving Knives

Carving knives, including ham knives, likely originated in the late Middle Ages, around the 14th century. Ham, as preserved meat, was an important food source in medieval Europe, requiring special knives for proper serving. Early ham knives were probably simple, hand-forged tools with wide blades and pointed tips.

There are several theories regarding their origin: some point to Germany where the term "Schinkenmesser" was used in the 14th century, others to the French "couteau à jambon" from the 16th century, and another theory traces it to England where "ham knife" appeared in the 17th century. The Satake Satoru carving knife is a masterpiece of modern Japanese forging, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology for the perfect slicing experience.
