Enso Hizashi 6.5" Santoku Knife - Factory Second

The size and shape of this knife makes it a prep workhorse, it's one I keep in my knife bag on a daily basis. It is also razor sharp

Despite being listed as a factory second, I honestly cannot see any imperfections on this Enso Hizashi 7" Bunka. It arrived light, incredibly nimble, and with true surgical sharpness right out of the box. It cuts effortlessly and holds its edge remarkably well. I’ve owned knives from major brands like Tojiro, Shun Premier, Miyabi Birchwood, and Zwilling Pro, but this one easily outcuts them all and feels the most solid and balanced in hand. Outstanding knife!

well-made option for cooks who want a nimble, precise blade for separating meat from bone.

very nice knife and very sharp. lives up to the hype in the video reviews. very fast shipping from cutlery and more.

After relying on 30 year old kitchen knives we decided to enter the 21st century with new knives. We've bought various knives from several brands. This was my first venture in Japanese steel. The knife was a "factory second" which had some kind of defect which I cannot find, which shows you I shouldn't be a quality control inspector. Nonetheless, for being a "factory second" the knife is razor sharp, very handy at the cutting board and has done everything I've wanted it to, knife-wise. The knife looks gorgeous and to me, is of great quality. This will not be the only Enso knife that will be showing up at my house.
