Enkyu | Atsumori | Santoku Knife | 165mm | Karin Knot

[Swordsmith's skill x the beauty of fine wood] Enkyu's Atsumori series Santoku knife, 165mm

• Maker: Saruwatari Toshiaki, a professional swordsmith from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, known as the town of blades, is behind the Sarukyu "Atsumori" series. This supreme sword, with its elegant appearance, embodies the strong spirit and sharpness of a Japanese sword.
• Material (blade): The core material is "SPG2 (Super Gold 2)." This is the highest quality powder high-speed steel, boasting razor-sharp cutting edge and amazing long-lasting sharpness. As it is stainless steel, it is resistant to rust and is extremely easy to maintain.
• Blade: What is particularly noteworthy is the thick construction of the blade, which is 3mm thick. By making it thicker than a regular knife, it has a reliable weight when you hold it in your hand. Taking advantage of that weight, you can cut food by simply dropping it without applying any force, which is a pleasure that can only be found in the work of a swordsmith.
• Handle: The handle is made of luxuriously rare "karin kobu" (Japanese quince burl), also known as the "jewel of wood." No two pieces of wood have the same intricate grain, giving it a luxurious and warm feel. The more you use it, the more it will fit your hand and the more you will grow to love it.
• Uses: The 165mm blade length is the most standard and easy-to-use size for Japanese households. It is a versatile knife that can be used to cut meat, fish, vegetables, and all kinds of ingredients, turning everyday cooking into an artistic experience.

With overwhelming performance and breathtaking beauty, this is a masterpiece that will last a lifetime, dedicated to those who seek authenticity in the tools they use every day.
