The characteristic shape of the handle of the SENZO TWISTED OCTAGON  series was inspired by the figure of an octagon, important in Japanese culture. For the user's comfort and greater grip, the octagonal handle of the knife is additionally slightly twisted. Suncraft knife blades from the SENZO TWISTED OCTAGON series are made of < /span>33-layerstainless steel, the so-called Damascus steel* reinforced with VG-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. The Japanese design is complemented by a handle made of whitePakkawood*** and a red ring at the base of the blade. The series includes: Chef knife in two sizes, Paring knife, Petty knife, Santoku and Sashimi knives.

*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 was considered 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 extremely sharp and very resistant to abrasion.

***Pakkawoodis 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.
