The Senzo Collection knives are constructed from a 69 layer complex Damascus with a VG10 core. These outstanding knives exemplify Japanese sharpness but with more weight than associated with most Japanese knives. The surgically sharp edge is easy to maintain and will outperform most other knives in this price bracket. The added weight has been achieved by cold forging the blade from a thicker than normal blank (4mm) and compressing it with 3000 pounds per sq. in. of pressure and then pressed again with a Tscuchime mould. The resulting knife is both dense (extremely tough) and breathtakingly sharp with indents on the top part of the knife that reduces the sticking of fatty, oily or starchy foods. The stainless bolster and oval hardwood handle have a thin red ring of a heat-resistant polymer between them that acts as a cushion if the steel bolster and wood handle expand and contract differently in extreme conditions.
The Senzo Collection is destined to be the benchmark against which most other commercially produced knives will be judged.
This is the classic bread knife. It has a long, narrow blade with a serrated edge that saws through crusty and soft breads without crushing or tearing. The serrations grip and cut through tough exteriors while gliding smoothly through soft interiors.
Function – Serrated slicing knife. Ideal for cutting bread, cakes, pastries, and other baked goods with hard crusts or delicate interiors.
Tip: The 210mm–270mm bread knife is the most popular size range, offering excellent control and clean slicing for both artisan loaves and sandwich bread.
