Suncraft SENZO UNIVERSAL Gyuto Kitchen Knife 18 cm

The Suncraft SENZO UNIVERSAL Gyuto 18 cm is a universal kitchen knife modeled on classic chef’s knife tools. Its proportions – a relatively long, wide blade and a gently rounded tip – mean it handles many culinary tasks perfectly. This knife is suitable for chopping, mincing, dicing, and slicing. Its versatility makes it a must-have in every kitchen, regardless of the user’s skill level. The SENZO UNIVERSAL series was created in response to the needs of European chefs, who valued not only functionality but also solidity and aesthetics. Knives from this line are characterized by a full tang construction, which guarantees stability, excellent balance, and durability. The blade is made of 33-layer damascus steel, with a core of high-quality VG-10 steel – known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to wear. The blade is adorned with the “wavy” effect characteristic of damascus steel, which gives it an elegant look and is a nod to Japanese forging tradition. The hammered surface not only stands out aesthetically but also prevents sliced products from sticking, increasing work comfort. The handle is made of durable brown Pakkawood, which is resistant to moisture and other difficult conditions in the kitchen. The Suncraft SENZO UNIVERSAL Gyuto 18 cm is a reliable tool for anyone looking for the perfect combination of quality, functionality, and traditional Japanese design.

*Damascus steel – modern so-called damascus steel is a material consisting of thin layers of stainless steel. Approximately 25% of the central layers form the core, while the remaining 75% are alternating layers of soft and hard steel. This structure gives the knife a characteristic “wavy” effect on the blade surface.

**VG-10 steel is widely considered one of the best materials for producing kitchen knives. Chefs value knives made of this type of steel for both their elegant appearance and exceptional durability. VG-10 is characterized by high hardness, reaching a value of HRC 60 on the Rockwell scale. This makes knives made of this steel extremely sharp and highly resistant to wear, making them a reliable choice in the kitchen.

***Pakkawood is birch or maple wood that has been laminated and impregnated with resin. This makes the material exceptionally resistant to heat and moisture, and its properties make it an ideal choice for knife handles.
