Brand Introduction
⭕️Sukenari, founded in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, has over 90 years of history since 1933. The brand name “Sukenari” carries the meaning of being a supportive tool—like a right-hand assistant—to every chef during their culinary journey. Their craftsmanship focuses on precision and quality, forged for professionals who value long-lasting sharpness and exceptional usability.
Steel Introduction
⭕️ZDP-189 is a premium powder metallurgy steel developed by Hitachi Metals, Japan. Known as a next-generation "super steel," it contains around 3% carbon and up to 20% chromium. It achieves an impressive hardness of HRC66–67 after heat treatment, offering extraordinary wear resistance and cutting retention along with high rust resistance.
Its ultra-fine carbide distribution helps maintain edge stability and sharpness even after extended use. While it is more difficult to sharpen due to its hardness, the right technique and tools can fully bring out its performance. It is one of the most iconic high-hardness stainless steels available for top-tier kitchen and craft knives.
Knife Introduction
⭕️The gyuto, or Japanese chef’s knife, is ideal for slicing, carving, and trimming meat—especially premium wagyu. Its longer blade allows smooth and continuous slicing, preserving the integrity and aesthetics of the meat. While it originated in professional kitchens, its versatility and performance make it increasingly popular in home use among cooking enthusiasts. Common materials for gyuto handles include wood and composites to ensure comfort and stability in hand.
