Seki Kanetsugu Saiun 33-Layer Damascus Steel Utility Knife 120mm

Coming from Seki Kanetsugu’s popular Saiun range of professional kitchen knives, this knife features a gorgeous black handle with a striking red accent, and a very impressive blade constructed out of layered Damascus steel, with 33 layers of VG-10 and SUS410, developing a blade that is both incredibly sharp, and very durable.

This 120mm utility knife will quickly become the main workhorse in your home or commercial kitchen. This handy knife is bigger than a paring knife, but smaller than a chef's knife, meaning it can handle most general cutting tasks and much of the intricate knifework you'd need it for with ease.

Using the traditions of sword-smithing, Seki Kanetsugu incorporates the traditional and unique Japanese "clamshell blade" into its knives, reproducing the exquisite sharpness of Japanese samurai swords. This 100 year old company, founded by the descendent of a famous swordsmith, is proudly continuing the 700-year tradition of blade-smithing in Seki City.
