Enkyu | Homuragumo | Gyuto | 210mm | Gray Plywood

[Ultimate Sharpness Forged by a Swordsmith] Crafted with SPG2 Multi-Layer Steel for a Sharp Edge, this 210mm Gyuto from Enku's Enun Series

• Maker: Saruwatari Toshiaki, a professional swordsmith from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, the city known for its blades, is behind the creation of the En'un series by Enkyu. These authentic knives, combining practicality and functional beauty, have been redesigned by a craftsman with the techniques of forging Japanese swords to suit the modern kitchen.
• Material: The core is made of "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 easy to use in both professional settings and at home.
• Blade: Worth noting is the solid construction with a blade thickness of 3mm. By making it thicker than a regular chef's knife, it achieves the reliable rigidity of a sword. Its moderate weight balance allows it to cut through ingredients as if absorbed into them by the weight of the knife alone, without the need for force. The flame cloud pattern, reminiscent of a sumi-e painting, also stands out beautifully.
• Handle: Made of durable and water-resistant compressed plywood (gray). The chic and understated design makes dirt less noticeable and provides a stable grip that firmly supports the 3mm thick blade.
• Uses: The 210mm blade length is the most standard size for a chef's knife. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from cutting blocks of meat to julienned vegetables. This is the perfect choice for those who prefer a heavier knife over a lighter one.

A chef's knife that embodies the spirit of the swordsmith and will last a lifetime. A powerful and beautiful knife that will turn everyday cooking into a special experience.
