Ono SG2 69-layer Damascus

Sanmai - Stainless Damascus Clad Tsuchime SG2 / R2 / Stainless Seki, Japan

This series is essentially Ono's own iteration of the Shun Fuji sereis.

Forged in Seki City, a name synonymous with legendary Japanese cutlery, the Ono Suzukaze series is built for cooks who aren’t afraid to make a statement. This is a knife defined by its confident, tall profile, offering a smooth, commanding rock through herbs and vegetables without worrying about knuckle clearance.

At its core lies SG2 powdered steel, renowned for its exceptional sharpness and steadfast edge retention. It’s cloaked in 69 layers of contrasting Damascus, polished to highlight the pattern but finished with a practical tsuchime (hammered) texture along the edge to combat food sticking.

The unique triangular Western WA handle is its masterpiece. It merges the balance of a Wa handle with the ergonomic confidence of a Western one, crafted from handsome Pakkawood for a secure, comfortable grip that feels like a natural extension of your hand.

The Suzukaze doesn’t whisper; it performs. It’s Seki craftsmanship at its most bold—a blend of striking looks, innovative design, and serious cutting power.
