Description

The Enso SG2 Kiritsuke Knife is designed for all the tasks for which you'd use a chef's knife. It works extremely well with vegetables, julienne, dice, and more. Can also be used for cleaning and portioning boneless proteins, particularly fish, and slices cooked proteins with grace and ease. The straight edge won't rock through cuts such as a traditional chef's knife. Enso SG2 features an extremely sharp cutting edge. Constructed of Japanese SG2 Micro Carbide powder stainless steel, which is enveloped by 101 layers combined with alternating soft and hard stainless steel. The corrosion resistant powdered carbon steel has an unprecedented 63 Rockwell hardness. Powdered steel is used because it ensures a high degree of purity and strength. The resulting blade is extremely hard, ensuring an exceptionally sharp cutting edge. The surface impresses a fascinating Damascus design pattern. The handle is made of black canvas micarta with a stainless steel bolster, red spacers and Samurai Crest. The engraved end-cap of the handle is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which provides outstanding stability and balance. Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan with a lifetime warranty.

    My first quality knife

    This is my first Japanese knife. I just retired and elevated myself in the kitchen. Used to have the common CUTCO cutlery in my kitchen. My daughter and my son-in-law turned me on to Japanese knives! The difference between the two is magical.! I am no chef by any means, but I can cook damn well and there’s a pleasure with chopping vegetables, cutting meat with such effortless motion. It’s a real pleasure. Looking forward to purchasing my next knife, it would probably be a boning knife.

    A must have … The Kiritsuke !

    This knife is the difference maker when you need to create a precise starting cut in any thing. Great with meats and veggies / fruits. Slices superbly. Excellent durability with the SG2. Holds the edge for months. Best purchase yet.

    Fantastic introduction to Enso and Japanese Kiritsuke Knives

    The SG2 8" arrived quickly from Cutlery and More. The knife was packaged with care and with no issues. Upon unpacking, I managed to find out just how sharp these knives are via a little nick I received on my finger. Undaunted, I bandaged up and took the SG2 for a spin on the cutting board. As advertised the knife is more than capable and owns the vegetables as it slices everything with ease. I have a professional boning knife and have not tried the SG2 on meats as of yet. The addition of the magnetic sheath is very essential, and I only wish there was a way to ship it in place on the knife, for obvious reasons.
