ZDP-189 San Maï Sukenari japanese craft knives

If you're looking for high-quality Japanese knives, you've come to the right place! The Sukenari ZDP-189 San Maï range features knives combining traditional forging techniques with modern visuals. The blades of the knives in the range have a San Maï structure, i.e. 3 superimposed layers of steel. The blade core is made of ZDP-189 steel, a high-end powdered steel with a hardness of 65 HRC. This hardness is due to a carbon content of almost 3%. The cutting edge of your Sukenari kiritsuke is high-performance and long-lasting. Around 20% chromium completes the alloy, making it corrosion-resistant. On top of this core is a layer of softer steel folded on either side. This outer layer is designed to give the blade a little flexibility, making it less susceptible to breakage, while at the same time protecting it. The result is a blade that combines the advantages of stainless steel with those of carbon steel. Sukenari's zdp-189 san maï handcrafted Japanese knives also feature a handle made from the prestigious wood of Macassar ebony. This rare species offers you a solid knife handle with a pleasant feel thanks to its fine grit. What's more, the ZDP-189 San Maï top-of-the-range Japanese knife has a very elegant look thanks to the wood's deep hue, highlighted by a broad black and brown grain. The handles of the gyuto and kiritsuke knives are octagonal in shape, suitable for all cooks and ensuring optimum comfort and handling. Your Sukenari ZDP-189 San Maï knife is your companion for long cutting sessions!
