残心 Zan Shin® San - Ginsan Silver-3 Steel Nickel Damascus Gyuto 21cm/24cm

Zan Shin® SAN 燦 — Ginsan Silver #3 Nickel Damascus 燦 (SAN) means brilliance or radiance in Japanese, reflecting the blade's luminous finish and the beauty it brings to everyday cooking. An original Zan Shin series, SAN was designed by Kaz in collaboration with Seki Kanetsugu, drawing on his experience as a chef, knife sharpener and Japanese knife retailer in Australia. At its core is Ginsan (Silver #3), a Japanese stainless steel known for its excellent sharpness, ease of sharpening and corrosion resistance. Its balance of performance and practicality makes it an ideal choice for everyday cooking. The blade features a refined kiritsuke-style profile, combining its distinctive angular appearance with a slightly less delicate tip for everyday practicality. The Ginsan core is surrounded by nickel Damascus cladding, featuring intricate patterns, a textured tsuchime finish and a brilliant mirror polish that catches the light beautifully. The handle is crafted from ebony, chosen for its durability and rich, dark appearance. A reddish-brown wood spacer adds a subtle contrast to the blade's radiant finish. Combining striking craftsmanship with everyday practicality, SAN is designed to be a knife you will enjoy using and caring for over many years.

Most of the minor issues can be fixed by sharpening on a #400-#1000 whetstone. We have tutorial videos for you to learn how to use whetstone.
