We are big fans of Sukenari knives. The small blacksmith shop is located in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. They are noted for using the finest materials and techniques in building their range of kitchen knives. Whether it’s creating some outstanding damascus work or employing the incredibly difficult honyaki process, Sukenari’s blacksmiths have impressed us with their consummate skills and artisanship.
These knives are good lookers and equally impressive performers, constructed from Aogami Super Steel, one of the hardest alloys used in the making of kitchen knives. Because of this inherent hardness (in this case 65 HRC), this Powdered Metallurgy steel can be ground much thinner than other steels. It also holds that sharpness much longer than most others.
The inner core of Aogami Super steel is covered with a softer stainless steel cladding. The addition of this steel makes these knives really easy to maintain. Professional chefs will really appreciate these attributes as they will be able to complete an extended work session without the need to clean or sharpen the blade regularly.
The blade face has a fine hairline finish that is polished to a medium shine. This mates perfectly with the custom octagonal handle. Add in the x-factor that is Sukenari, and you have a knife that can be your daily go-to, your show knife, or your prized heirloom. One of our very favorite knife makers and one of our favorite knives.Company Name: Sukenari
