"Sentan" means the "tip" or "leading edge" in Japanese. It's a name chosen to reflect knives designed at the forefront of performance and value. These knives are built around a core of SLD semi-stainless steel, a fine-grained steel known for excellent edge retention, toughness, and relatively easy sharpening compared to many high-hardness stainless steels. The blade features stainless steel cladding for added corrosion resistance, finished with an attractive nashiji texture on the upper portion and an exposed SLD edge below for a refined, purposeful look.
The steel and cladding are produced in Japan, with final manufacturing completed in China to maintain consistent quality while keeping costs accessible. Each knife is finished to a high standard and fitted with an elegant olive wood handle paired with a durable, water-resistant acrylic ferrule. The result is a well-balanced, versatile kitchen knife that delivers reliable cutting performance, attractive aesthetics, and everyday practicality.
Care Instructions: Hand wash only and dry immediately after use. Do not store the knife wet or leave it in a sheath or saya while damp. Avoid cutting hard or frozen foods. Use a wooden or soft synthetic cutting board. SLD steel is semi-stainless and may develop a light patina over time; this is normal and does not affect performance.
