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 7.9-inch (200mm) Chef's Knife
The Senzo Black series pairs a VG10 core with Damascus cladding that Suncraft gives a special black treatment, bringing out a deep, dark wave pattern that differs on every blade. The 7.9-inch chef’s knife is the series’ all-purpose knife, sized for everything from mincing herbs to slicing a pork loin. It pairs the time-honored Western chef’s knife shape with Japanese craftsmanship, and its profile allows a very smooth rocking motion.VG10 is a stainless steel known for taking a keen edge and holding it, and the hammered tsuchime texture on the blade face adds grip and visual depth. The octagonal handle, a traditional Japanese shape, combines brown and black pakkawood with a white fiber ring at the front, and its tapered wa shape is especially comfortable in a pinch grip or a traditional Japanese grip. At 200mm, it is a comfortable length for a home cutting board. Collectors choose this series for its looks, and the thin edge makes the knife as practical as it is striking, which also makes it a memorable gift.
