Zuiun is a truly special series of knives. It has been available since 2018, when the company decided to celebrate a century of existence. Since then, these knives have not left anyone indifferent!

Although it is called a Santoku in the forge, this is actually a Bunka form of knife, or Santoku with a modified tip, again something unique from this forge. Incredibly useful and stylish, there's no challenge in the kitchen that this knife isn't ready for. The accentuated tip is ideal for precise work, while the relatively flat blade profile is suitable for both cutting larger pieces and fine chopping.

This knife is made of SG2 steel, which reaches extreme hardness and is considered the perfect material for making knives. It is easy to resharpen and retains its sharpness for an incredibly long time. It is the "state of the art" of Japanese steel production technology. Additionally, the blade is adorned with a total of 62 perfectly polished layers of stainless Damascus.

The handle of this knife is in no way inferior to the blade itself. It is pakka wood in dark brown and black separated by an elegant white spacer. The handle is shaped in a heptagon shape, which is unique exclusively for knives from this forge. To make the experience absolutely complete, a mosaic pin is installed at the very bottom of the handle, which fits perfectly into the design of this knife.

Zuiun means "cloud of happiness" in Japanese, and every cut with these knives will make you feel like you're flying on that cloud.

Moj prvi japanski nož

Ovo je mala katana, vizuelno, ergonomski i funkcionalno!

Kompaktan je za rukovanje dok ispunjava sve zadatke koje sam zamislio u kuhinji (home made cook here).

Ritual je da prvo otvorim drvenu kutiju, uzmem nož u ruke pa mu se poklonim, zahvalim Bogu i majstorima koji su ga iskovali, još malo mu se divim, pa tek onda krenem sa pripremom obroka.

Oštrina iz fabrike je 8/10 (lična procena) i kida, a mogu zamisliti kako će tek da seče kada se adekvatno naoštri na kamenu. Za sada keramičkim masatom održavam ivicu.

Izabrao sam ga zbog neodoljivog kiritsuke dizajna, sedmougaone paka drške i osećaja da posedujem deo tradicije duge preko 100 godina.

Nakon 2 meseca redovnog korišćenja bunke primetio sam i ovo:

1. Nož te forsira da budeš fokusiran, smiren, da budeš kreativniji.

2. Povrće definitivno ima sočniji ukus kada ga isečem.

I nije placebo već nešto drugo, možda SG2 čelik…neka madjija japanska, me like it! 🥷🏻

How to choose the first Japanese knife?

If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.

Japanese knife as a perfect gift

Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
