Shizu Hamono - Shizu Gen Chef Knife 180mm

"玄" (Gen) signifies depth and excellence, often used in contexts such as the color black or referring to an expert ("玄人" or "kuroto"). As its name suggests, the knife features a unique black color produced by iron oxide and a Damascus pattern that conveys the beauty and depth of traditional Japanese aesthetics.

The traditionally Japanese chestnut-shaped handle fits naturally in the hand, while the hammered texture of the blade enhances food release during cutting.
