Every blade has a hammered or sashimi finish.

Each Enso HD knife is heat treated to a 61 on the Rockwell scale and are hand ground to approximately 12° cutting angle.

The blades feature a double bevel (50/50) edge for right or left-handed use.

Knives Included: Enso HD Chef’s Knife

The Enso HD Chef’s Knife is designed for slicing, dicing, and chopping a full range of fruits, vegetables, and more. With its curved belly, the Chef’s knife can be gently rocked through fresh herbs or spices to produce a very fine mince.

Knives Included: Enso HD Bread Knife

The Enso HD Bread Knife is sharp enough to slice through tough crusts while still producing full, even slices. The scalloped edge makes cutting crusty bread and cake easily, allowing you to glide through without creating excessive crumbs and also works well to slice large fruit such as pineapple or watermelon.

Knives Included: Enso HD Santoku Knife

The Enso HD Santoku Knife works exceptionally well on vegetables, proteins, and fruit for slicing, dicing, and chopping. The slight belly curve enables the cook to rock the blade slightly.

Knives Included: Enso HD Utility & Paring Knives

The Enso HD Utility Knife is ideal for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables.

The Enso HD Paring Knife is ideal for peeling, coring, trimming, decorating, and other detail work. Also can be used for chopping small foods, such as garlic cloves or ginger.
