Description
Sharp and rust resistant, Seki-Kanetsugu’s Zuiun kiritsuke slicer knife.
Seki kanetsugu was founded over 100 years ago by Mr. Matsujiro Kawamura, a descendant of the legendary blacksmith Kanetsugu (1345-1400). And this Zuiun knife was made as a culmination of their technology on the 100th anniversary of its founding.
The SPG2 (Super Gold 2) steel edge is integrated in 62-layer damascus steel. SPG2 has HRC62 hardness, it is harder and sharper than vg10. This is a knife that inherits the tradition and skill of Japanese swords.
