Zen Series

Our Zen series uses a tsuchime (hammered) pattern on the blade, reminiscent of water droplets hitting a river’s surface. This is to help create the vivid image of relaxation, and instill the idea of cooking at your own pace in a relaxing way.

The Zen series is created with a very carefully designed blade edge. With a Western-style plywood grip and balance many customers overseas are familiar with, Zen knives, as the name suggests, smoothly cut into ingredients almost like water flowing into a crevice. A high quality yet delicate secondary edge that does not need frequent sharpening, combined with a durable clam-shaped blade, allows for a knife that will serve you for many years to come.

This knife comes highly recommended from us at Sakai Ichimonji Mitsuhide, a knife manufacturer supporting Osaka from Doguyasuji for over 70 years.
