8 inch Japanese Chef Knife with K133 Ergonomic Handle

Introducing the SHAN ZU Japanese Chef Knife 8" - GENBU Series, Black Tortoise. This knife series is inspired by the Black Tortoise, also known as Genbu in Japan, a mythical creature with deep cultural significance in East Asian mythology. Representing the northern sky and the winter season, the Black Tortoise is one of the four guardian spirits that protect Kyoto, and it is said to bring blessings to the city.

Crafted from high-quality Japanese super steel with a hardness of 60±2HRC, the SHAN ZU Japanese Chef Knife is designed to maintain sharpness and durability over time.
