Saiun

The Seki Kanetsugu Saiun Series is a line of high-grade kitchen knives, designed by Mr. Kawamura, a highly skilled craftsman from Seki City. The Saiun Series knives are made from VG-10 cobalt stainless steel, which is known for its popularity and quality. The steel is forge-layered with stainless steel Damascus, resulting in a total of 33 layers. One of the standout features of these knives is their convex blade profile, this design, along with their thin cutting edges, makes these knives ideal for precise cutting tasks. The Saiun Series knives also feature a round Black Linen Micarta handle, a resin-impregnated wood, linen, paper composite imported from Spain. This handle is shrink-proof, very durable, and water-resistant. The handle's design is accentuated by a slightly slanted angle stainless steel bolster and a striking red fiber spacer, giving the knife a sleek and modern appearance. Despite their high-quality performance and finish, the Saiun Series knives are reasonably priced, making them an excellent choice for both first-time users of Japanese knives and culinary professionals.
