This Zakuri 330mm Blue #1 Kurouchi Sujihiki is a double-beveled knife. This knife comes with a ho wood octagon handle with a buffalo horn ferrule. It would make a great all-purpose slicer at home or for a professional cook or chef who is comfortable with carbon steel. The blue #1 steel takes a very good edge and holds it a pretty long time. This knife is carbon, so it can rust if not cared for properly. The kurouchi finish does help protect the knife from rust a little.

This Zakuri 65mm Multi-Purpose Mini Knife is a small utility knife that can be used for anything from opening boxes and letters to peeling fruit. It measures 185mm overall and comes with a small leather sheath.

The knife is forged from blue #2 steel with damascus cladding. The black finish on the blades is called a kurouchi finish and is residual scale from the forging process.

The Zuiun series by Seki Kanetsugu has the powdered stainless steel SG2 at its core, with soft stainless damascus cladding. These are relatively easy to sharpen and take great edges while having an emphasis on edge retention. The Zuiun has nice convexity throughout the blade and will be nice for food release, but are still thin at the edge. The handles are a 7-sided laminated brown pakkawood handle with an off-white spacer separating it from a black pakkawood ferrule, and each knife comes with an attractive black lacquered saya. These are great knives for people looking for knives that will stay sharper for longer periods of time and beautiful aesthetics on a Japanese handle. Seki-city's heat treatment of SG2 tends to be less brittle than regions like Sakai, Sanjo, and Echizen.
