The Zanmai Pro Damascus SE is fitted with an eye catching black handle that is speckled with white and blue accents.

The transition from the handles to the blades are uniquely tapered to increase comfort and control when pinch gripping the knife. They are precision laser cut, not stamped, from 33 layers of Damascus steel with a VG-10 core. This blade material provides excellent edge retention qualities and is extremely sharp. These knives are all expertly ground in Seki City, Japan for efficient cutting and blade strength.
