Sukenari SRS-13 Ni-Mai Damascus

For over four generations, Sukenari has quietly forged some of Japan’s finest blades, supplying legendary brands like Masamoto and Aritsugu before stepping into the spotlight with their own exceptional creations. The SRS-13 Damascus Single Bevel Series gives an more exotic aesthetics to the already execptional Ni-mai series. Equiped with the Powdered SRS-13 steel (Takefu’s finest) with a clever two-layer construction for effortless sharpening and maintenance. What is more special? Unlike everyone else, Sukenari actually forges the SRS-13 steel, resulting in an increased hardness, futher enhancing the Kireaji (cutting favor).

The SRS-13 core delivers outstanding edge retention, while the carefully balanced grind ensures smooth, frictionless cuts through fish, meat, and delicate ingredients.

A true hybrid: the ease of modern steel, the soul of a hand-forged Japanese knife. This series is extremely hard to come by.
