The Ame santoku 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 santoku knife a truly striking and unique look. With its high profile and rounded arc near the tip, this santoku knife is perfect for preparing everything from vegetables and potatoes to meats and fish. 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.
