Senzo Clad Gyuto Knife 18cm
SUNCRAFT was founded in 1948 in the city of Seki, Japan, famous throughout the world as a knife manufacturing city. Since then the company has been producing high-quality knives and kitchen tools. It is said that Suncraft's founder Senzo contributed to the development of Seki City land long ago. He invested his own money and dedicated himself to pursuing public interests, such as building local shrines.
SUNCRAFT pays close attention to the needs of users, and this is why the kitchen knives made by the company's artisans are branded "SENZO": to be able to instill the same spirit of devotion as Senzo. Carefully producing the highest quality kitchen knives means caring for the people who use them, just as Senzo once worked hard to develop the land of Seki.
The Senzo Clad Collection knives are made from a 3-layer AUS-10 steel with a hardness of (58 +/- 1 HRC). AUS-10 steel has the same carbon content as 440C steel but less chromium, making it tougher and less corrosion resistant than 440C steel. Thanks to vanadium, wear resistance has been increased.
The handle is made of PAKAWOOD material (imitation ebony), which is water and moisture resistant and completely odorless. You can rest assured that this material will not corrode, oxidize, or become softer and more brittle over time. This material requires almost no maintenance, unlike traditional materials such as wood.
