Suncraft SENZO CLASSIC Kitchen Knife 240 mm SZ-06
The chef's knife is the most well-known and frequently used blade in food preparation. It is characterized by a rounded, wide, and long blade. Its design makes it convenient for both slicing and chopping. When working with this knife, the chef performs rhythmic, rocking motions.
SENZO CLASSIC line, rich in products, combines the best features of Eastern and Western knife-making philosophies. The shapes and purposes of the knives are mostly Western, while the craftsmanship and design are Eastern. The series includes knives with different blades and weights, which are required from kitchen tools in Western culture. The simple yet refined SENZO CLASSIC line design maintains a Japanese spirit.
SENZO CLASSIC knife blades are made from 33 layers of stainless steel. Damask steel * is reinforced with a VG-10 steel core **. This composition is extremely durable, and the blade itself is resistant to wear and fading. A close-up reveals a subtle, wavy pattern reminiscent of samurai swords.
SENZO CLASSIC knives feature a very intricate design. The handle surface, made from what is known as Pakkawood *** in black, has no rivets, making it exceptionally elegant. A red ring at the base of the blade draws attention, and the „ Tsuchime “ blade forging not only looks impressive but also ensures that cut products do not stick to the knife and easily slide off the blade.
* Damask steel – modern so-called Damask steel consists of super-thin stainless steel sheets layered on top of each other, where the middle 25% of the sheets are called the core, and the remaining 75% consist of sheets of different hardness – alternating layers of soft and hard steel. This creates a „wavy“ effect on the knife's surface.
** VG-10 steel, 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. As a result, knives made from it are incredibly sharp and highly resistant to abrasion.
