Enso Ginsan 6.75" Bunka Knife - Factory Second

LOVE this prep knife. It sits in my knife block next to my my Enzo bunka knife. I cannot find a defect to call the prep knife a "Second." Must be a microscopic flaw that only a sharp eyed QC person could see.

The knife is beautiful in hand, is truly razor sharp and is a "Go to" knife for multiple tasks. To me, Enzo knives are top quality and fairly priced. 100% pleased. Also, Cutlery & More customer service and ease of website use is simply the best. I highly recommend Cutlery and More.....and Enso knives to all.

I bought this 4 inch paring knife as a “factory second” at about a 40% discount to its usual price. I buy knives to use them not to exhibit them, so some cosmetic imperfections didn’t bother me because a few would likely develop in any event over time from use. The knife was very sharp out of the box, and as you would expect from SG2 steel, has stayed sharp even with regular use. I have looked very closely, and I have not been able to see any of the “cosmetic imperfections” justifying the “factory second” classification. The Yaxell and Cutlery and More quality control groups must be much more picky and expert than I am. All in all, a great deal for a great knife.

Got this knife factory second and still unsure what the defects were but I'm happy with it. The shape is so unusual but lends itself to rocking pushing slicing and all so smoothly. I've yet to have to sharpen or even hone it but still glides through veggies

The Enso SG2 Prep knife works perfectly, laser sharp and absolutely beautiful. One small slip while engraving the blade barely visible to the naked eye made this blade a second... My friend couldn't find the flaw..made me happy.
