The Sujihiki is a double edge slicing knife with a long narrow blade that smoothly slices through meat or vegetables and preserves the integrity of each ingredient's freshness. The Zuiun is a special model manufactured to celebrate the company's centennial. Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun knives have blades with a wavy “hamon” pattern similar to Japanese swords. In its current incarnation, Seki Kanetsugu Cutlery has been making modern blades that realize the characteristics of Japanese swords--unbreakable, unbending and very sharp. The company also infused the Zuiun with the spirit of such swords. The blade is made using the San Mai technique, where the core is made of high-speed powder steel SPG2 (Super Powder Gold 2) and covered with 62-layer damascus. DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) blade coating is a thin layer that is applied to the surface to improve the properties of the knife. Surface treatment increases resistance to wear and abrasion.Finely sharpened by artisans, the surface of the blade features a scudding cloud-like pattern. It is also forged into a V-shaped "hamaguri-ba" blade, reflecting a characteristic of Japanese swords.The beautiful, very durable and easy-to-clean handle is made of laminate, has an octagonal shape and fits perfectly in the hand. All Seki Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiwami knives are made by hand. Delivered in wooden gift boxes. Weight 162 g.
