Suncraft SZ15

Similar in shape to a cleaver, but smaller and lighter than it. Useful for working with vegetables. Characteristically, the cutting edge of this knife's blade is straight or forms a gentle arc. The high blade of the knife effectively separates the cook's hand from the surface of the cutting board and guarantees comfort of work. Usuba is useful, for example, when you want to cut vegetables into thin sheets.

Purpose:

• chopping
• cutting
• dicing

The SENZO CLASSIC line, rich in products, combines the best features of Eastern and Western knife-making philosophies. The shapes and purpose of knives are mostly Western, while craftsmanship and design are Eastern. The series includes knives with different blades and different weights, which is required from kitchen tools in Western culture. The simple but refined design of the SENZO CLASSIC line remains in the Japanese spirit.

The blades of the SENZO CLASSIC knives are made of 33-layer stainless steel, the so-called damascus steel* reinforced with a core ofVG-10** steel. This composition is extremely durable, and the blade itself is resistant to the process of destruction and blunting. The close-up shows a delicate, wavy pattern that brings to mind samurai swords.

SENZO CLASSIC knives are characterized by a very refined design. On the surface of the handle made of the so-called Pakkawood*** in black has no rivets, which makes it extremely elegant. The red ring at the base of the blade attracts attention, and the hammering of the "Tsuchime" blade not only looks impressive - it also makes the cut products not stick to the knife and easily slip off the blade.

*Damascus steel – contemporary so-called Damascus steel consists of successive, extremely thin sheets of stainless steel superimposed on one another, of which the middle 25% of the sheets are called the core, while the remaining 75% consists of sheets of different hardness - alternating layers of mild and hard steel. As a result, a "wavy" effect is created on the surface of the knife.

**VG-10 steel This type of steel has been considered one of the best for the production of kitchen knives. Chefs appreciate both the beautiful design of knives made of VG-10 and their exceptional durability. VG-10 is a material with high hardness, on the HRC scale it has a value ofHRC 60. Thanks to this, knives made from it are incredibly sharp and very resistant to abrasion.

***Pakkawood is laminated birch or maple wood, impregnated with resin. It is characterized by very high resistance to heat and moisture and was developed especially for knife handles.
