Zanmai Knives from Seki City, Japan!

The word ZANMAI is commonly used in Japanese to mean LUXURY, however it is in fact derived from the Sanskrit term "Samadhi", which refers to the state of consciousness induced by complete meditation. As such, the concept might be understood as the attainment of integration, wholeness, or truth. A good chef always strives for the true essence of cooking, and these handmade tools help achieve this. We sincerely expect serious chefs to produce supreme culinary work using our ZANMAI fine kitchen knives! Fully forged, damascus blades folded around a pure VG10 core, triple rivets and a quincewood burl handle. Handmade in Seki City, Japan.
32 layers folded around a VG10 supersteel! These knives are sweet!
You will love your new handmade Japanese knife!
