Custom Limited Edition, Sukenari STRIX Nickel Damascus Wa Gyuto 210mm (8.2 inch, SCL-531)

Availability: Normally ships within 1 to 6 days


This Sukenari STRIX Nickel Damascus Wa Gyuto is a Custom Limited Edition, one-of-a-kind knife.

Recently, Takefu Special Steel company released a new and mysterious special powdered steel called “STRIX” (Short for “STrong matRIX”). The claimed characteristics of this new steel have made a big impact and it has attracted the interest of many knife industry experts and serious knife fans.

STRIX is capable of reaching very high hardness levels (HRC 65) and offering outstanding sharpness and edge retention. Furthermore, even at this high hardness level, STRIX is not very difficult to resharpen and, similar to SG-II (Also known as R2), it offers very good rust resistance.

Ideal for practical, high-performance cutlery, this new high-end steel has now been released on to the market. Of course, Master Hanaki at Sukenari has been busy researching and testing this interesting new steel and, now, the Sukenari STRIX Steel knives are available.

The STRIX core blade steel (HRc. 65) is forge-welded with Stainless Damascus steel cladding, which is made with alternating layers of Nickel Steel and Stainless Steel. The blade is beautifully mirror polished and finished so that the white color of Nickel Steel layers vividly contrast with the glossy silver color of the Stainless Steel layers.

This Custom Limited Edition Sukenari STRIX Nickel Damascus Wa Gyuto 210mm knife is fitted with an Innovative Octagonal Desert Ironwood Handle, which has a Composite Turquoise Gemstone Ring and Nickel Silver Spacers. For safekeeping, this knife comes with a matching Black Lacquered Saya (Wooden sheath) and black pakkawood Saya pin.

 The Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is true multi-purpose knife.

     Custom Limited Edition, Sukenari HAP-40 Nickel Damascus Wa Gyuto 210mm (8.2 inch, SCL-54)

     

    This knife comes with 50/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use.  

    For your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand use with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened  50/50 without problems. 

    We believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy the fine craftsmanship and its sharp edge of your new knife. With proper cares, every Japanese knife should be your special cooking partner for a long time.

    Important

    This is the Powdered High Speed Tool Steel blade kitchen knife that has a rust resistance for easy maintenance. However, it may get rust, if kept in wet condition.

    • Please do not put the knife in the dishwasher machine for cleaning.
    • Please do not leave the knife in water or wet condition for a long time.
    • After using, please hand wash the blade, bolster and handle thoroughly, and wipe it clean and dry with soft clothes, and keep it in a dry place.
    • This is an extremely sharp knife. Please use special cares in using and storing it.
    • Unlike German made knives, Japanese knife blades are ground to thin cutting edge for sharper cutting and easier re-sharpening. Please protect the edge from hitting hard materials to avoid chipping or cracking.
    • Please do not use it to cut bone or frozen foods, any hard shell foods such as lobster and crab.
    • We recommend using Japanese whetstones to re-sharpen the knife, when it gets dull.
