Satake Ame Chinese knife from Satake is a kitchen knife with a hand-forged blade of 5 layers of AUS10 steel and a handle made of larch, peach tree, camphor and maple. Ame Bunka is a beautiful knife with power, strength, balance and tradition as guiding principles in its design. The name Ame is Japanese and means rain, something that the blade's design has been inspired by. The blade's so-called Rain Pattern is not only aesthetically pleasing but also prevents ingredients like potatoes from sticking to the blade when slicing.
