We are pleased to introduce these fine knives made by Shindo san in Tosa, Japan.

This first line of kitchen knives is made with SRK8 steel, which is an alloy a bit similar to Hitachi Shirogami #2, with chrome and nickel added for a little extra toughness. The steel is heat-treated to HRC 63+, a number we like for this kind of alloy. It should therefore hold a good edge and be easy to sharpen.

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 core SRK8 steel shows really well against this backdrop. A really good-looking 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!
