- 【4th ed.】sen-閃 Paring knife 150mm
A Beloved Masterpiece Favored by Michelin-Starred Chefs
Sen-閃 is a French brand founded on the concept of "spreading Japan's traditions and culture around the world." Developed in collaboration with a French art director and product designer, the brand draws on local insights.
The blades are crafted from Saki cutlery stainless steel, specifically Gin-3 steel, which rivals the sharpness of high-carbon steel. This rare material is primarily available in Sakai due to the challenges involved in its heat treatment. Since both the blacksmith and the blade sharpener can produce only about ten pieces per day, the price is relatively high. However, these knives remain effective even when they become quite short, making them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
In addition to their hardness, the techniques employed in heat treatment and sharpening strike a balance between ease of sharpening and cutting performance. By carefully managing the temperature during heat treatment, these knives achieve exceptional sharpness along with a soft texture that makes sharpening effortless.
The handles are made from sustainably farmed indigo, featuring indigo dyeing techniques applied to Hokkaido maple. The subtle indigo and black pattern create a refined design that is sophisticated yet not overpowering, allowing it to complement any kitchen beautifully. The color of the indigo dye varies each year based on the harvest, resulting in a delightful range of hues. We invite you to discover your favorite piece!
