The SHAN ZU GUREN is an 8-inch forged chef knife built around a Japanese SG2 powder steel core at 64 HRC, clad in 67 layers of Damascus steel. The blade has a blackened upper section, a polished lower section and a stonewashed matte finish, and the octagonal handle is lacquered in black and red in an Urushi style. The 12° edge per side is ground for clean, precise cuts. It suits cooks who want a hard, long-lasting edge and a striking blade, and who accept that such a thin, hard edge needs care. Against softer German-style knives it trades toughness for sharpness and edge retention. Buyers praise its sharpness, quality and craftsmanship.

Buyers rate the GUREN highly for sharpness, build quality and craftsmanship. The hard SG2 edge and Damascus finish are the points most often singled out.
This 8-inch chef knife has a forged blade made of 67 layers of Damascus steel around an SG2 powder steel core. The core reaches 64 HRC hardness for sharp slicing and lasting edge retention. The blade is ground to a 12° angle per side.
The upper part of the blade is blackened, and the lower part is polished and sandblasted. The stonewashed finish gives a matte texture that resists scratches and wear and helps keep food from sticking.
The octagonal handle is finished with handcrafted Urushi-style lacquer in black and red. The surface is glossy and water-resistant, and the shape gives a comfortable grip.
