[Swordsmith's skill x the beauty of fine wood] Enkyu's Atsumori series Santoku knife, 180mm

• Maker: Saruwatari Toshiaki, a professional swordsmith from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, known as the town of blades, has created the Sarukyu "Atsumori" series. Combining elegant beauty with a strong core, this is a masterpiece that embodies the swordsmith's soul.
• Material (blade): The core material is "SPG2 (Super Gold 2)." This is the highest quality powder high-speed steel, and is characterized by its overwhelming hardness and sharp cutting edge, surpassing that of ordinary stainless steel. It is also rust-resistant, making it the strongest material for both professional and home use.
• Blade: The blade is a solid 3mm thick, a craftsman's specialty. This thickness creates an exquisite weight balance, allowing the knife to cut through ingredients with just its own weight, without the need for force. The pattern created by the multi-layered steel is a mystical beauty that captivates the viewer.
• Handle: The handle is made of lavishly rare and hard-to-obtain karin kobu wood. The intricate grain is so beautiful that it is called the "jewel of wood," and no two pieces are the same. It has an overwhelming sense of luxury that will satisfy your desire to own it every time you hold it in your hand.
• Uses: The 180mm blade length combines the versatility of a Santoku knife with the length of a chef's knife. It makes it easy to cut large vegetables such as cabbage and Chinese cabbage, and is suitable for both dynamic cooking and delicate tasks.

With its ultimate performance as a cutting tool and its beauty as a work of art, this is a supreme knife that will satisfy the joy of owning and can be passed down from generation to generation.
