Quality and precision in every cut

Senjen knives are developed by H.W.Larsen in collaboration with professional chefs from the Meatpacking District and skilled craftsmen in Japan. The range is designed to deliver precision and control in every movement. The razor-sharp blades, made from high-grade stainless steel, ensure effortless cutting – whether you’re chopping vegetables, slicing meat or filleting fish.

The Senjen PRO series is crafted from ATS-34 steel – one of the world’s most respected knife steels – providing outstanding hardness and durability. Each knife is designed to feel like a natural extension of your hand, allowing you to work efficiently and safely in the kitchen.

Ergonomics, balance and functional design

One of the key reasons behind Senjen’s success is its ergonomic design. The handles are shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, reduce fatigue and provide maximum control during use. This makes the knives ideal for both quick cuts and longer cooking sessions.

The balance between blade and handle is perfectly tuned to create a natural sense of stability. At the same time, the elegant Scandinavian design gives each knife a clean, timeless look that suits both modern and classic kitchens.

Knives for every purpose

Senjen offers a versatile selection of knives for every kitchen task – from classic chef’s knives and bread knives to paring and specialist filleting knives. Whether you’re preparing everyday meals or creating gourmet dishes, there’s a Senjen knife to match your needs.

The knives are easy to maintain and can be resharpened to restore their precise edge. They are not dishwasher-safe, but with proper care and hand washing, a Senjen knife will remain sharp and beautiful for many years to come.

Sustainable quality and Danish innovation

Senjen represents a philosophy of quality over quantity. These knives are built to last – in both function and form. By combining Japanese steel technology with Danish design sensibility, Senjen ensures a knife that is both sustainable and timeless.

At H.W.Larsen, you’ll find a wide range of Senjen knives that unite the best of two worlds: Japanese craftsmanship and Danish innovation. A reliable choice for those who value tools that both perform and inspire in the kitchen.
