## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are the Enso knives compared to Shun knives?**
A: shun has many different "lines" just as yaxell (the mfgr of enso) has many different "lines".Shun classics is closest to what this knife is like. It has more "layers", but after three it really doesn't matter. The enso has enough to make it functional and pretty, but not so many that it becomes a cost issue. Enso, which is really a Yaxell Zen, has a hammered finish which takes more workmanship and might be more functional to reduce sticking, however it also requires more care because those pits, if not cared for could conceivably allow bacteria to grow under certain conditions. Shun has hammered finishes on their "elite" and premier" lines, but not on their classic line. This knife is a much better value for the dollar than the Shun.They both use a core of VG10. At one time, shun was claiming VGmax on even their classics, but they have now been caught. And VG max is just a marketing name. It's a registered trademark, not another quality steel.The Enso has a much better handle than the shun classic. It is closer to what you'd find on thee better lines of shun, or, of course, onall of Yaxell's lines. It is more comfortable if you're cutting for hours. Shun classics are generally used by home cooks. Yaxells are generally used by professional cooks and chefs so if you're only cutting for short periods, the handle doesn't really matter that much.Enso's are a little heavier because of the handles. They are about the same thickness. The shapes of the blades are roughly similar and cutting angle is similar. BOTH are 50/50 bevel.There are plenty of other great knives at the same price point, but this is a bargain if you don't mind it being branded "enso" instead of yaxell. You should also consider Tojiro, Mcuesta ,yaxell zen and yaxell dragon. I'd take any of those over a shun classic, which I think is over priced, over rated and has a crummy handle.

**Q: Where is this knife made and/or assembled?**
A: Seki, Japan. This knife is made by the famous Yaxell company which makes some supurb professional quality knives. This one is very similar to a Yaxell Zen.

**Q: What is the spine width in mm? Thx.**
A: The Enso HD 8 and 10" Chef's Knives are both 2mm thick at the spine.

**Q: Hi what is the length of the blade and the length of the handle thank you**
A: The blade is 8 in, and handle is 5 in long. Knife is well made and very sharp.
