Sarukyu | Honuun | Santoku Knife | 180m | Gray Plywood

[Ultimate sharpness forged by a swordsmith] Enkyu's Enun series Santoku knife, 180mm

• Maker: Saruwatari Toshiaki, a professional swordsmith from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, the city known for its blades, created the Enun series. Crafted by a craftsman with an intimate knowledge of authentic Japanese swords, these authentic knives stand out from mass-produced products, imbuing them with the techniques and aesthetics of the craftsman.
• Material: The core is made of "SPG2 (Super Gold 2)." This is the highest quality powder high-speed steel, offering incredible hardness and long-lasting sharpness. As it is stainless steel, it is also resistant to rust and easy to maintain.
• Blade: The blade's 3mm thickness is particularly noteworthy. It is thicker than a typical kitchen knife, and the sense of solidity and stability when held in the hand is exceptional. The "flame cloud" pattern drawn by the multi-layered steel is fantastical, like a sumi-e painting, and stands out beautifully against the wide blade.
• Uses: The 180mm blade is slightly longer than a standard Santoku knife (165mm), making it easy to slice through large vegetables like cabbage and Chinese cabbage. This knife is perfect for those who want the versatility of a Santoku knife but don't want to give up the length of a chef's knife. The weight of the thick blade allows you to slice through ingredients effortlessly, providing a refreshing feeling.
• Pattern: Made of chic "compressed plywood (gray)." Highly durable, this sophisticated design will blend in with modern kitchen interiors.

This masterpiece embodies the swordsmith's spirit and makes the act of cutting itself a joy. It will be a reliable companion worthy of being with you for the rest of your life.
