Japanese knife set ZANMAI GENBU limited edition - Petty / santoku /gyuto / kiritsuke gyuto
Limited Edition Four Gods Series - Vol. 4 - Genbu Four years ago, we released “Suzaku” as the first in a series of limited editions, applying the technology we developed when we launched Samadhi in 2008 and launched various series. The second series, “White Tiger,” was released four years ago, followed by the third series, “Blue Dragon,” last year, which was well received. The first series was the “Suzaku” series, followed by the “White Tiger” series, the second series, and the third series, the “Blue Dragon” series, which was released last year. Since ancient times, each direction has been a symbol of an imaginary creation. The north is the Genbu, the south is the Suzaku, the east is the Blue Dragon, and the west is the White Tiger. This time, we developed this product based on the concept of Genbu. The handle is made of a new acrylic material, and the handle's complex polyhedral shape and the butt metal are also characterized to bring it closer to the image of Genbu. For the blade, we planned to use an original material after many communications with the material manufacturer. The core is made of coreless steel, with side plates on both sides and three layers of steel. It took a lot of effort to express the turtle's back. We also put a lot of effort into stamping the pattern from the mold making process to create a Genbu-like specification. For the case, we prepared a very unique storage case that can hold a set of 4 pieces, based on the image of an ancient Japanese paulownia chest. A very unique storage case is provided to hold the set of four. The case is limited to 50 sets worldwide and is numbered. We are confident in the practicality of the product, but we are also confident in the quality. The limited series will be developed with the total effort to create a unique presence of samadhi.

Please be careful!
・Please note that there may be individual variations in shape, finish, and color due to the handcrafted nature of our knives and the use of natural materials for the handles.
・Do not cut frozen foods or bones with knives that are not specifically designed for that purpose. Doing so can cause significant damage to the blade.
・Do not use a dishwasher for cleaning. It may cause rust and damage to the handle.
・After use, do not leave the knife dirty. Hand wash it with a neutral detergent and then remove any moisture.
・Carbon steel knives are extremely prone to rusting, so clean and dry them promptly. When storing, apply camellia oil to the blade.
・Avoid using simple sharpeners as they can damage the blade. If you must use them, please follow up with maintenance using a whetstone.
