Handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, the Enso HD Boning Knife features a slender-shaped blade, enabling users to pierce the flesh of poultry, fish, and beef with ease, while also allowing them to closely follow the contour of bones. Enso, a company that continues to pursue new possibilities for kitchen knives in the new era, combines the best of advanced technology with the unsurpassed knowledge and expertise of traditional craftsmen to produce the highest quality products.

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

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

The double-bevel (50/50) edge of the Enso HD Boning Knife is suitable for both right and left-handed use, and the blade's kanji features the first two Japanese characters of "Enso," meaning "Harmony," and the last three characters of "Nippon Sei," meaning "Made in Japan."

Enso knives are handcrafted in Seki City, Japan, a city rich in history and cultural tradition, where the incredible quality of knives is founded on 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, designed to fit a variety of purposes and lifestyles.

In comparison, the Enso SG2 Boning Knife is crafted of premium Japanese SG2 powder steel, with a Rockwell hardness of 63. It also features a double-bevel edge, black canvas micarta handle, and is handcrafted in Japan, but with a hand-engraved blade kanji rather than a machine-pressed one.

Both the Enso HD and SG2 Boning Knives are backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring the quality and craftsmanship of these exceptional Japanese-made culinary tools.
