Our Partner: Satake Cutlery – Legacy and Precision from Seki, Gifu

Satake Cutlery MFG. Co., Ltd. was founded in 1947 in Seki, Gifu — a region long celebrated for its swordmaking heritage. Over the decades, Satake has combined this legacy with modern production to deliver knives of remarkable consistency and sharpness.

Commitment to Quality

Satake employs more than 40 skilled craftspeople and engineers, upholding a culture where precision is non-negotiable. Quality control is led by the president himself, who personally inspects and tests blades. If a knife does not meet his strict standards, production is redone — regardless of time or cost.

The Man Behind the Brand

Yasuhiro Satake, the company's third president, is a Keio University graduate and one of Japan’s most respected advocates for quality manufacturing. Known for his human warmth and exacting standards, he inspires loyalty among employees and trust among chefs.
