We are pleased to introduce these fine knives made by blacksmith Shindo san in Tosa, Japan.
This line of kitchen knives is made with Blue #2 Carbon steel, also known as Aogami #2, which is a favorite with our customers. The steel is heat-treated to HRC 62+-, which is the sweet spot for excellent edge retention as well as ease of sharpening.
These are really good-looking knives featuring a well-done kurouchi finish on the upper blade road that fades to a nice matte sand-blasted lower portion. The simple but attractive handle made from burnt oak wood is a perfect match for the blade and the name of the brand. “En” means flame in Japanese and “jin” means blade. Perfect indeed!Brand: Enjin

Bought this for my dad for Father's day and it is an absolute LASER. It's his first Japanese knife and he loved it. Very well made and the half blackened handle gives it great character. Great knife for a great price
