Description:

The Satake FAX-38 Gyuto is a premium 21 cm Japanese chef's knife, representing top-tier quality in any kitchen.

Thanks to its high purity, fine grain structure, and precise alloying, this steel offers exceptional hardness and outstanding edge retention. Ideal for professionals and serious home cooks alike who value high performance and longevity.

The Gyuto (牛刀), which appeared during the Meiji era (1868–1912) in Japan under Western influence, was originally developed for processing beef ("Gyuto" means "beef sword"). However, its versatility soon made it a kitchen favorite for slicing vegetables, fruits, meats, and fish. Its pointed tip makes it suitable for filleting tasks as well. The optimal blade length ensures easy control and handling of large cutting surfaces.

This knife is not just a tool – it’s a lifelong investment. The FAX-38 steel ensures long-lasting sharpness and daily reliability.
