Suncraft SENZO CLASSIC Santoku Kitchen Knife 167mm SZ-04
Santoku is the Japanese counterpart to the Western chef's knife. Its name translates to “three virtues” or “three good things.” Not without reason – this knife, resembling a cross between a regular chef's knife and a cleaver, is multi-functional. It is perfect for slicing meat, fish, and vegetables.
SENZO CLASSIC line, rich in products, combines the best features of Eastern and Western knife-making philosophies. The shapes and purpose of the knives are mostly Western, while the craftsmanship and design are Eastern. The series includes knives with different blades and varying weights, as required by Western culture for kitchen tools. The simple yet refined SENZO CLASSIC line design retains a Japanese spirit.
SENZO CLASSIC knife blades are made from 33 layers of stainless steel. Damasko plienas * is reinforced with a VG-10 steel core **. This composition is extremely durable, and the blade itself is resistant to damage and dulling. A subtle, wavy pattern, reminiscent of samurai swords, is depicted in close-up.
SENZO CLASSIC knives feature a very sophisticated design. The handle surface, made of so-called Pakkawood *** in black, has no rivets, making it exceptionally elegant. A red ring at the base of the blade catches the eye, and the “ Tsuchime ” blade forging not only looks impressive – it also ensures that cut products do not stick to the knife and easily slide off the blade.
* Damasko plienas – modern so-called Damascus steel consists of super-thin stainless steel sheets layered one on top of another, where the middle 25% of the sheets are called the core, and the remaining 75% consist of sheets of varying hardness – alternating layers of soft and hard steel. As a result, a “wavy” effect is created on the knife's surface.
** VG-10 plienas, this type of steel was considered one of the best for kitchen knife production. Chefs appreciate both the beautiful design of VG-10 knives and their exceptional durability. VG-10 is a high-hardness material, with a value of HRC 60 on the HRC scale. Consequently, knives made from it are incredibly sharp and highly resistant to abrasion.
