The Ame kiritsuke knife from Satake bears a beautiful, hand-crafted blade forged from five layers of AUS10 steel along with a sturdy handle of Canadian larch oak. The pairing of these exquisite materials with the premium craftsmanship of the blade gives the kiritsuke knife a truly striking and unique look. With its long blade and precise edge, the kiritsuke knife is perfect for making long and whole cuts into your ingredients — the ideal tool for preparing fine slices of raw fish, for instance. Combine the knife with other blades from the same series. The distinctive design on the knife is an homage to the name of the collection, Ame, the Japanese word for rain.
