Suncraft Senzo Black Damascus

Suncraft Senzo Black Knives are built for beauty, comfort and performance.  Designed with the future user in mind, these knives are immaculately crafted - from the tip of the blade to the end of the handle, no detail has been overlooked. Constructed in the classic Japanese wa-bocho style, Senzo Black blades have a half-tang that runs through a black pakkawood ferrule and into a brown pakkawood handle. The ferrule and handle are separated by a white carbon fiber ring that creates a striking visual transition. The ferrule is fully sealed for hygiene and to prevent corrosion. Suncraft Senzo Black Damascus blades have a core of cobalt VG10 steel: that is hardened to a rockwell hardness of 61°. This is a fine-grained alloy with a high carbon content – it is abrasion resistant, and it sharpens quickly. 32 Layers of Black Damascus stainless steel cladding surround the core. The cladding creates a striking and elegant appearance.  These blades are ground to an even 50/50 bevel that is equally suited to right- or left-handed users. The handles, which gradually taper from the end (where they are thickest) to the blade, are also shaped to fit either the right or left hand.

  • Suncraft Senzo Black 5.6-inch (143mm) Small Santoku

    Suncraft calls this 5.6-inch Senzo Black knife a small santoku, a compact version of the Japanese all-purpose shape. It keeps the santoku’s flat edge and rounded tip at a size that suits a small cutting board, quick lunches and cooks with smaller hands. It is a go-to blade for the tasks too large for a paring knife and too small for a full chef’s knife.This little knife has the same dramatic Damascus look and VG10 core as the larger blades in the series. Its octagonal pakkawood handle matches them too, and at this size it is quick to steer around a pepper core. It makes a practical gift for someone in a small apartment kitchen. Suncraft handcrafts it in Seki, where Japanese bladesmiths have worked for some 800 years.
