Suncraft Senzo Twisted Octagon 7.9-inch (200mm) Chef's Knife

Suncraft based the Twisted Octagon handle on the traditional octagonal handle of Japanese knives, then added a twist toward the bolster so the fingers settle into a secure grip. The 7.9-inch chef’s knife pairs that handle with a VG10 core and Damascus cladding that shows a random wave pattern over the whole blade, so no two knives look alike.

VG10 is a stainless steel known for taking a keen edge and holding it, and the 200mm length is a comfortable all-purpose size for a home kitchen. The elongated handle provides a comfortable, secure grip with excellent balance and control, and the mid-line tip allows a fluid rocking motion. It slices, dices and rocks through herbs, and the white pakkawood handle with a red fiber ring at the bolster gives it a look unlike any other knife on the counter. Collectors value the series for its appearance, and the thin VG10 edge makes it a pleasure to use every day.
