The Suncraft Senzo Black 2-piece knife set in an elegant cardboard box includes two indispensable kitchen knives. It contains a chef’s knife with a length of 20 cm and its smaller equivalent – the Santoku small knife with a 14.3 cm blade. Santoku, or “three virtues” or “three advantages,” is a versatile Japanese-style knife that is the equivalent of a Western chef’s knife. Its name reflects its versatility – it is perfect for cutting meat, fish, and vegetables. The set is packaged in a stylish and exclusive cardboard box, which makes it an ideal gift idea.
The SENZO BLACK knife collection is distinguished by a unique octagonal handle made of pakkawood. At the base of the blade there is a black ring, separated from the lighter wood by a white bolster. The octagonal shape is a nod to Japanese traditions, where this shape has great significance, and at the same time provides a secure grip, which makes precise cuts, chopping, and mincing ingredients easier. The handle fits perfectly in the hand, allowing for quick and comfortable knife handling.
The blades of SENZO BLACK knives are made of 33 layers of damascus steel, reinforced with a VG-10 steel core. This construction ensures their exceptional durability, high resistance to corrosion and discoloration, as well as long-lasting sharpness. A subtle, wavy pattern is visible on the blade surface, which is reminiscent of the patterns on samurai swords. The series includes the most popular types of knives, including a chef’s knife and Japanese versions, such as Santoku and Bunka knives. There are also smaller paring knives, a universal petty knife, a bread knife with a serrated cutting edge, and a sashimi knife. * 33-layer damascus steel is a material that is created by layering very thin sheets of stainless steel. 25% of them form the core, and the remaining 75% are alternating sheets of steel of different hardness – soft and hard. The whole is combined during mechanical and thermal processing, which results in the characteristic “wavy” effect on the blade’s 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.
