Enkyu | Honuun | Santoku Knife | 180mm | Karin Knot

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

• Maker: The "Enkyu " series is made by Toshiaki Saruwatari, a professional swordsmith from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, a city known for its blades. The spirit and technique of a swordsmith are sublimated into modern knives, creating masterpieces with a soul not found in mass-produced products.
• Material (blade): The core material is "SPG2 (Super Gold 2)." This is the highest quality powder high-speed steel, boasting incredible hardness and long-lasting sharpness. As it is stainless steel, it is also resistant to rust, and combines ease of maintenance with the strongest specifications.
• Blade: The blade is a solid 3mm thick, embodied in the master swordsmith's attention to detail. Because it is thicker and heavier than a typical kitchen knife, its weight allows you to simply drop the blade onto food, resulting in surprisingly light slicing. The "Flame Cloud" pattern created by the multi-layered steel is an artistic beauty that changes appearance depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
• Handle: The handle is made of lavishly rare and hard-to-obtain karin kobu wood. No two pieces have the same intricate grain, giving it a jewel-like shine.
• 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.
