Produced in the legendary city of Seki, this 200mm blade features a sophisticated 33-layer Damascus construction with a high-performance VG-10 stainless steel core. It is designed to offer a perfect balance of aesthetic beauty and surgical precision for the demanding kitchen environment.\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eSignature Hamaguri Edge\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat sets the Saiun series apart is the traditional Hamaguri-ba (clamshell) edge profile. This convex grind reduces friction during slicing, allowing the blade to glide through meat and vegetables with minimal effort while maintaining its razor-sharp edge significantly longer than standard flat-ground knives.\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eErgonomic Excellence\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003ch6\u003eThe handle is crafted from high-durability linen Micarta, a composite material that resists moisture and heat while providing a secure, comfortable grip.
