Enkyu | Homuragumo | Small Knife | 135mm | Karin Knot

[Swordsmith's skill x the beauty of fine wood] Enkyu's Enun series small knife, 135mm

• Maker: Saruwatari Toshiaki, a professional swordsmith from Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, the city of blades, creates the Enun series by Enkyu. Craftsmen who have inherited the spirit of the Japanese sword pour their souls into each small knife, resulting in a masterpiece of the dignity of a work of art.
• Material (blade): The core material is "SPG2 (Super Gold 2)." This is the highest quality powder high-speed steel, and it maintains its razor-sharp cutting edge for an amazingly long time. As it is a stainless steel, it is resistant to rust and easy to maintain.
• Blade: The blade is a generous 3mm thick compared to its overall length, making it a solid piece. Unlike a typical paring knife, the blade's thick spine and moderate weight provide exceptional stability when slicing small ingredients. The "Flame Cloud" pattern created by the multi-layered steel creates a powerful presence despite its small size.
• Handle: The handle is made of karin kobu, a rare wood also known as the "jewel of wood." No two pieces have the same complex and beautiful grain, deeply satisfying the desire to own it.
• Uses: The 135mm blade is ideal for fine work such as peeling fruit, cutting cheese, and chopping condiments. It is also beautiful enough to use as a table knife on the dinner table.

The luxurious sharpness and beauty of this knife will make your heart leap every time you hold it in your hand. It is a small work of art that is perfect as a gift for a loved one or as a treat for yourself.
