Specifications
The Kisuke Manaka ENN 210mm gyuto is a Japanese chef's knife handforged in Sanjo by blacksmith Kisuke Manaka. The core is Aogami #1 and the cladding is a hand-laminated damascus of Aogami #2 and soft iron, forged in-house -- a construction few makers attempt. Most damascus knives use pre-laminated billet from a mill. Manaka-san builds his own, by hand. The result is a distinctive damascus pattern that is only seen in his ENN line.
