Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiritsuke 210 mm

The Kanetsugu Zuiun Kiritsuke 210 mm is a typical Japanese-style knife. It is a versatile knife that will work well for both chopping vegetables and processing fish. The unique series of Kanetsugu ZUIUN Damascus knives was created on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Seki Kanetsugu company. One of the best steels on the market, SPG2 (R2), was chosen for the production of these knives, which is an excellent choice for producing kitchen knives – an ideal compromise between high hardness, ease of sharpening, and long edge retention. The blades were made using the “SAN-MAI” technique, which means the core of “SPG2” powder steel was clad with 63-layer Damascus steel with an impressive contrasting pattern. During hardening, these blades were given a hardness of 62-64 HRC, thanks to which they hold their sharpness for a long time, and SPG2 steel is relatively easy to sharpen. The Kanetsugu ZUIUN offers some of the best cutting properties – a fairly thin blade combined with the convex Hamaguri Ba grind will satisfy even the most demanding users. The ergonomic and aesthetic handle has a heptagonal (seven-sided) shape and is exceptionally comfortable, even during long-term work with the knife. The handle is made of pakka wood and has a beautiful decorative pin and a light liner. All knives from this series are packaged in elegant wooden boxes, which makes them an ideal gift idea. Seki Kanetsugu is a knife manufacturer in Seki, Japan. Its ancestor was Kanetsugu (1336-1392), a famous maker of samurai swords. The company was founded in 1919 and is now one of the oldest kitchen knife manufacturers in Japan.
