Founded in 1960 in Seki, Shizu Hamono perfected a genuine kurouchi finish on stainless steel after two years of R&D, using no coats or dyes. Their Shizu Gen (玄) series—meaning both "black" and "expert"—features 33-layered Damascus steel with a VG10 stainless core. These knives combine sharpness and reliability with elegant yet durable wooden handles in the traditional "chestnut" shape. The hammer pattern on the blade prevents food sticking while cutting.
