The Shuzon Shozo series is a high-end series that demonstrates the best of Ikeuchi cutlery's traditional techniques. Everything is done by hand and requires dozens of steps to create a sharp blade, allowing you to craft it without stress.
The knife is lightly coated with varnish to prevent rust, so it may feel dull at first. It will come off when you use it, but if you want to enjoy the sharpness of Ikeuchi knives from the beginning, please wipe it off with thinner before use.

*Can be resharpened and repaired.
