Suncraft Senzo Clad
Flexible boning and filleting knife 170 mm
Lightweight Japanese knife with a narrow, flexible blade that closely follows the shape of bones and makes portioning meat, filleting fish and removing skin, fat and membranes easier.

The blade core is made from high-quality Japanese stainless AUS-10 steel with a hardness of 58 ± 1 HRC. The three-layer construction provides a good balance of sharpness, durability and easy maintenance. The ergonomic Western-style Pakkawood handle is secured with three rivets and provides a confident grip during precise work.

Main advantages of the knife
Flexible 170 mm blade
The blade adapts to the shape of the ingredient while you work and helps guide the cut along bones, ribs or beneath fish skin with less waste.
Three-layer AUS-10 steel blade
Japanese stainless AUS-10 steel provides very good cutting performance, corrosion resistance and a practical balance between edge retention and subsequent sharpening.
Precise work around bones
The tapered profile and curved blade shape make it easier to separate meat from bones, remove tendons, fat and membranes, and portion poultry.
Pakkawood handle
The ergonomically shaped Western-style handle with three rivets provides a stable grip and good control over the flexible blade.
What is the knife best suited for?
- boning chicken, pork and beef,
- separating meat from bones and joints,
- removing tendons, fat, membranes and silverskin,
- filleting freshwater and saltwater fish,
- removing skin from fish fillets,
- precisely trimming portions of meat.
What not to do with the knife
The flexible blade is not intended for chopping or cutting through bones, prying, opening packaging or cutting frozen food. The flexibility of the blade is designed to follow the shape of the ingredient, so do not deliberately overbend it or twist it during a cut.
Boning or filleting knife?
This model handles both types of use. When boning, its narrow blade helps follow bones and joints precisely. When filleting, the flexibility of the blade makes long cuts along the fish’s spine and separating the fillet from the skin easier.
When you are looking for one lightweight knife for processing both meat and fish, the Suncraft Senzo Clad Flexible is a practical and versatile choice.

Knife care
- Wash the knife by hand in lukewarm water with a soft sponge.
- Do not place it in a dishwasher or leave it in the sink for an extended period.
- Dry the blade and handle immediately after washing.
- Use a wooden, plastic or rubber cutting board.
- Avoid glass, stone, ceramic and cutting directly on a plate.
- Store the knife separately, in a block, on a magnetic holder or in a protective sheath.
Sharpening the flexible blade
A water sharpening stone of approximately JIS #1000 is suitable for restoring the working edge. The edge can subsequently be refined using a JIS #3000 stone. When sharpening the flexible blade, work slowly, without excessive pressure, and ensure it is guided steadily.
When you are unsure about the technique, use our knife-sharpening courses or professional sharpening service.
