The Enso SG2 Santoku Knife is exceptionally well-suited for a variety of cutting tasks, including slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables, proteins, and fruit. The slight belly curve of the blade enables the cook to rock the blade slightly, providing a smooth and efficient cutting experience.

Constructed of Japanese SG2 Micro Carbide powder stainless steel, the Enso SG2 blade features an incredibly sharp cutting edge. The 101-layer stainless steel Damascus construction with the SG2 steel core ensures exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. The powdered steel used in the construction process ensures a high degree of purity and strength, resulting in a blade with an unprecedented 63 Rockwell hardness.

The Enso SG2 Santoku Knife features a black canvas micarta handle with a stainless steel bolster, red spacers, and a Samurai Crest. The enclosed full tang handle construction is seamless, ensuring strength, durability, and balance. The engraved end-cap of the handle is made of 18/10 stainless steel, providing outstanding stability and balance.

Each Enso SG2 knife is hand-engraved with Japanese kanji by a skilled Japanese artisan. The first two characters, "Enso," translate to "Harmony" in Japanese, while the last four characters, "Hyaku Ichi Sō-kō," mean "101 Layer Steel." The Japanese character on the end piece of the handle, "Minori," means "Harvest" in Japanese.
