Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, Enso knives combine the best of advanced technology with the unsurpassed knowledge and expertise of traditional craftsmen. Continuing to pursue new possibilities for kitchen knives in the new era, Enso works on maintaining and improving manufacturing technologies to produce the highest quality products.

The Enso HD Curved Boning Knife is perfect for trimming the silver skin from a tenderloin or roast, or even making your own cutlets. The narrow blade reduces the drag as you cut against the meat, making the process fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the knife glides through the body, quickly removing bones and skin.

Enso HD blades are constructed of 37-layer stainless steel Damascus with a VG-10 steel cutting core, providing excellent edge retention. Each blade is heat treated to a 61 on the Rockwell scale and hand ground to approximately 12° cutting angle, with a hammered or sashimi finish.

All Enso HD knives feature a black canvas micarta handle with three stainless steel rivets, bolster and end cap. The enclosed full tang handle construction is seamless, ensuring strength, durability and balance.

The knives have a double bevel (50/50) edge, suitable for both right and left-handed use, with a machine-pressed blade kanji. The first two Japanese characters of the kanji are "Enso," meaning "Harmony" in Japanese, while the last three characters are "Nippon Sei," meaning "Made In Japan."

Seki is rich with history and cultural tradition, and the incredible quality of its knives is founded in the technology and beliefs of the ancient Seki sword smiths. Today's Seki knifemakers combine knowledge, craft and tradition to develop the highest quality knives from the ground up, designed to fit a variety of purposes and lifestyles.
