Unmatched Blade Performance

At the heart of the Saiun series lies a VG-10 stainless steel core, renowned for its incredible edge retention and corrosion resistance. This core is sub-zero treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 60-61, allowing the knife to maintain a surgical edge through heavy use. The ergonomic handle is crafted from durable linen micarta with a stainless steel bolster, providing a seamless, hygienic transition and a balanced weight distribution that reduces hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.
