Unmatched Sharpness and Durability
At the heart of the Enso SG2 knives is the Japanese SG2 Micro Carbide Powder Stainless Steel core, surrounded by 101 layers of alternating soft and hard stainless steel. This unique combination creates a blade with a Rockwell hardness of 63, ensuring an extremely sharp cutting edge that resists wear and corrosion. The powdered carbon steel provides an extraordinary level of purity and strength, resulting in a blade that is not only exceptionally sharp but also durable over time.
Each blade is adorned with a stunning Damascus pattern, giving it a distinctive, textured appearance that is as striking as it is functional.
Superior Blade Design and Craftsmanship
The Blade
The blades of the Enso SG2 knives are masterfully crafted from 101-layer stainless steel Damascus with an SG2 Micro Carbide powder steel core. Heat-treated to a Rockwell hardness of 63, these blades offer a superior edge, sharpened to a precise 12° cutting angle. The double-bevel edge makes them ideal for both right and left-handed users, ensuring versatility and ease of use. Hand-engraved with traditional Japanese kanji, each blade reflects the meticulous craftsmanship of skilled artisans.
The Handle
Crafted for balance and comfort, the Enso SG2 handle features a full-tang construction wrapped in black canvas micarta, known for its durability and moisture resistance. The handle also includes a stainless steel bolster, red spacers, and the iconic Samurai Crest for a refined, professional look. The 18/10 stainless steel engraved end-cap enhances the knife’s stability, providing perfect balance and control in your hand.
The Edge
The razor-sharp edge of the Enso SG2 knives is hand-ground to perfection, offering an approximate 12° angle that allows for precise, effortless cutting. The double-bevel design ensures that each cut is clean and smooth, whether you are slicing vegetables, meat, or fish. This precision makes the Enso SG2 knives the ideal choice for both home cooks and professional chefs.
Hand-Engraved Japanese Kanji: A Symbol of Tradition
Each Enso SG2 knife is a tribute to Japanese craftsmanship, featuring kanji hand-engraved by artisans in Seki City. The first two characters, “Enso,” mean harmony, while the remaining characters, “Hyaku Ichi Sō-kō,” signify the 101 layers of steel used in the blade’s construction. The kanji “Minori” engraved on the handle’s end-cap translates to “harvest,” symbolizing abundance and precision in every cut.
A Legacy of Excellence from Seki City
Seki City is synonymous with world-class blade craftsmanship, with a heritage that dates back to the era of the samurai. The knife-makers of today draw upon this ancient knowledge while embracing modern innovations, resulting in products that are both timeless and technologically advanced. Enso knives, produced in Seki City, embody the rich history and tradition of Japanese blades, delivering unrivaled quality and performance.
