"New, Unused" - Immediate purchase OK! The "Fuji" series, a world-renowned brand of Seki-made Japanese knives, alongside Solingen, Germany. Seki knives are characterized by their "sharpness, strong core, and resistance to chipping." The blade uses Damascus steel, recreating the elegant and flexible cutting ability famous in medieval Syria. Although it is a "Gyuto" (chef's knife), it is not exclusively for cutting meat. It has a relatively long blade, making it excellent for cutting large items like meat blocks. ★What is Damascus Steel? It uses VG10, a special cutlery steel with a high carbon content (1%) as the core, which is the standard for hardness and strength, and is composed of a total of 33 layers of stainless steel, with 16 layers on each side. The Fuji series is particular about the ripple pattern on the blade surface and uses 33-layer Damascus steel, which is considered to be the most beautiful. This is a beautiful masterpiece, developed by pursuing the original function and beauty of a kitchen knife, a true Japanese knife. The careful blade sharpening by the skilled blacksmiths of Seki allows you to experience a vivid sharpness, and with proper care after use, it will last even longer. (The sharpening method is described in the precautions for use) Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, flourished as Japan's number one production area for famous swords, and its outstanding traditional skills have been passed down to modern swordsmiths and the cutlery industry. And now, it is known as one of the world's leading cutlery production areas. The blade and bolster are connected by a core rod instead of adhesive, providing high strength. The wooden handle uses laminated reinforced wood impregnated with resin, which is resistant to corrosion. The handle design pursues a unique style that fits the hand as closely as possible.
