Description
The Zanpa series from Tadataka Maruyama (Enjiki Knives) has a look we had not seen before. The blade has a faux tsuchime (hammered) finish that is actually ground rather than hammered. The result looks like waves on the sea.
A very good convex grind on this blade, which Maruyama is known for from his days as head sharpener at HADO.
A knife we travelled to Nara, Japan to collect in person.
Enjiki · Nara, Japan

About the knife type: Gyuto (chef's knife)
A gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife for all everyday kitchen work. It is similar to a Western chef's knife, but is often lighter with a thinner blade.
The profile is long and even with a pointed tip. It slices, chops and minces fish, meat and vegetables. The length lets you slice in a single cut and keep the fibres intact.
About the steel: R2/SG2
Care and maintenance
Wash by hand in warm water, and dry it straight away.
Never the dishwasher. Use a cutting board of wood or plastic, not glass or stone.
