xPremium Japanese steel for lasting sharpness
The SHAN ZU 7-Inch Fillet Knife is forged from genuine Japanese steel using the traditional 3-step Honbazuke method. The result is a blade with higher carbon content than many stainless options, promoting durable edge retention and confident control during fish prep tasks.
Designed for precision and comfort
From the moment you grip it, the knife feels balanced and responsive. The Genbu ergonomic handle supports your natural grip, reducing fatigue during longer filleting sessions. The blade geometry is crafted to glide through skin and flesh with measured ease, delivering steady tracking along the cut line.
Craftsmanship that blends myth and modern performance
The Genbu design draws inspiration from the Black Tortoise motif, pairing refined aesthetics with robust, practical performance. Expect a knife that looks as confident as it cuts, with an edge that holds up through routine use and a finish that signals serious craftsmanship.
- 32-step manufacturing process, with careful forging and polishing to produce a consistently sharp edge
