Shun Engetsu 7-Inch Santoku Knife

Made in Japan.

The Shun Limited Edition Engetsu Santoku is different from any knife you have seen or used before. Try it and feel the difference with each cut. Feel the precision control at heel and tip and the incredibly smooth slicing at blade center. This is our Zone Performance Blade Technology. The layering of the Damascus blade steel is different at heel and tip and at the center, providing different types of cutting precision in each of those zones on the blade. The heel and tip are tough and durable to stand up to the contact-with-the-board use most common in those areas. The densely patterned center provides for ultra-smooth cutting and, with use, forms micro-serrations that help the blade retain its high level of performance longer. With its 7-inch length, this ultra-versatile santoku blade style is easy to use, while the downturned tip makes it extra safe, too.

Engetsu. The full moon rises. Beautifully.
