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