Product detailed description
Japanese Kiritsuke/Santoku utility knife from Kanetsugu ZUIUN DLC series
Robust, very sharp Japanese Kiritsuke/Santoku knife from the Zuiun Kiwami SPG2 - DLC Coating series made from SPG2 high speed powder steel with impressive design and highest quality. This knife is a ruthless kitchen warrior that is ready for all your wishes. The Japanese word "santoku" roughly translates to"three virtues", which is a testament to the versatility of this knife. The blade is usually shorter than a chef's knife with a significantly different geometry. The Santoku knife is often claimed to be a fusion between a chef's knife and a nakiri, giving you the benefits of both. The higher facet reduces friction, making slicing more precise. The Santoku is the perfect companion when working with meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. As the tip of the blade is modelled on a Japanese sword, it is also suitable for preparing dishes that require the use of the tip and also for decorative carving. Japanese craftsmanship, precision and new technologies make this damascus steel knife unique and inimitable. Zuiun is a special edition that was produced to celebrate Kanetsugu's 100th anniversary.
The Kiritsuke/Santoku ZUIUN knife has an ultra-sharp cutting core made of Japanese SPG2 powder steel, which is very well protected against corrosion. Japanese powder steel SPG2 has a long lasting sharpness with a hardness of HRC R63 +/-1. The SPG2 Japanese powder coated steel core is sandwiched between 62 layers of 2 stainless damascus steels for exceptional durability and toughness. The perfectly balanced, precisely tapered Japanese-shaped blade with a shimmering damascus pattern minimises friction when cutting and prevents the material being cut from sticking to the blade.
Sharpness - Hamaguriha (convex edge)
The excellent powdered steel SPG2 is ground into the "hamaguriba" shape, just like Japanese swords. This ensures perfect sharpness and durability of the blade.
Heat treatment - Sub-Zero process
Special cooling of the blade to -70°C or below provides high hardness and toughness.

the 7-edge Japanese-style handle provides perfect cutting control and effective support when slicing. It is made of Pakka-wood in the shade of ebony. Thanks to its high grain, this wood is naturally durable and dimensionally stable. The decorative handle pin is a subtle Asian decorative method. The perfect balance of the knife brings comfort and prevents hand fatigue. Kanetsugu ZUIUN knives will fully satisfy your desire for a precision tool of Japanese origin.

DLC Coating
Diamond-Like Carbon is a coating that is used to coat a variety of materials. It is a thin layer that is applied to the surface to improve its properties. The DLC coating is named after its resemblance to a diamond. Although the coating itself is not made up of diamond, it has some similar properties. The DLC coating consists of an amorphous form of carbon and other elements such as hydrogen or nitrogen. This combination gives the coating hardness and durability. DLC coating is used in a variety of industries, including automotive and medical devices. The benefits of DLC coating include:
 Hardness: the DLC coating provides a very hard surface that increases wear and abrasion resistance.- Reducing friction: a DLC-coated surface can reduce friction and wear on components, improving their life and performance.
- Resistance to chemicals: DLC coating is chemically inert, which means it is resistant to corrosive substances and chemicals.
- Anti-reflection properties: the DLC coating can reduce the reflectivity of light and improve the optical properties of the surface.
- Biocompatibility: for medical applications, the DLC coating is biocompatible, which means it is compatible with the human body and minimizes the possibility of allergic reactions.
|
The DLC coating is applied by physical vaporization or chemical vaporization, whereby a thin layer of carbon is deposited on the surface of the material at higher temperatures and low pressure.

Sharpening a kitchen knife
We recommend the use of diamond and water grinding stones for the knife edge. If you are not 100% sure of your skills and abilities, please contact us. We will sharpen your knives individually according to your wishes. We also regularly organize knife sharpening courses. Alternatively, look for a professional grinder in your area. Damage that could result from unprofessional grinding is irreversible.
Cleaning a kitchen knife:
Particles attached to the blade surface from aggressive substances can begin to corrode and form rust-like stains on the blade surface. However, it's not the blade that rusts, it's the attached particles. For example, baking soda is commonly used for removal, which when soaked forms a "slurry" and an old cork.
