Satake Houcho (Knife in Japanese) has an incredibly good price considering what a nice knife you actually buy. Discreet design, a razor-sharp edge, is feather-light and will survive for generations if you take care of them. The focus has been on developing a really high-quality blade with a simple, but functional handle. Houcho is Satake's best-selling knife series. SHG104W is a knife set with vegetable chopper (SVK002), sashimi/fillet knife (SVK003) and Japanese chef's knife/santoku (SVK001) in a beautiful balsa box.
