We will inform you that Syntek will have year-end through New Year holiday breaks from Saturday 27th of December 2025 to Sunday 4th of January 2026. During this shutdown period, we will be unable to receive any deliveries for goods and services to us, Syntek. We will start both our office and factory again from Monday 5th of January.

As you might know, oriental countries have 12 different zodiac signs that are based in Chinese history.
The animal symbol will be taken over from Snake to Horse in 2026.
If you were born in 1942, ’54, ’66, ’78, ’90, 2002 and ’14, your zodiac is the “Horse!”
Horse is symbolized as “jump”, “advance”, “action”, “challenge” and “passion”.
Some parts of our life are still drifting on a chaotic sea of uncertainty.
You may feel “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.”
But, hold your horses. You may say, the old horse does not forget the way.
Everybody could make the right decision and find the best way, if you try it seriously.
We deeply wish you will have lots of wonderful times next year.
Let’s make a leap forward and higher place!

Good news for ultra-thin section researchers! Now the 10.0 mm ultra knife is coming to our regular lineup. We have not only 45-degree, but also 35-degree.

If you would like to cut wider sections, this knife will be the best option for you for sure.
We have already tried to cut the mouse brain at one of our customers in the USA.
*Section size is 5.5mm(W) x 10.0mm(L) x 80nm(T)
If you are interested in cutting results, can you see the video below?

It will probably be possible to create a wider blade like 12.0mm or more in the future…
Don’t miss our latest news from now on.

We are writing to inform you of a change in leadership within our company.

In October 2025 we have appointed Mr. Yoshio YAMAZAKI as our new president.
We transformed the organization under the new head of company.
We will continue to strive while challenging a new thing.

We will share productive information for you. Now we have some stock of our knives as below. If you order any model(s), we will finish it(them) in a week. If you need any items immediately or you have some budget that you have to consume at the end of fiscal year, it may be a good opportunity to get products without waiting time. If you have any requeirements, please let us know.

We provide those items on a “first-come-first-served” basis.
There is a possibility when you ask for a knife, it is already sold out.  We are sorry in that case.

We got several feedback from our Metalica users recently. “Can you make a Tungsten Carbide knife with a boat?” “I want to cut semi-thin sections regularly” “I would like to get a practice knife for beginners” If we could make it, we would do it, because necessity is the mother of inventions.

We call this knife “Metalica Aqua”.
At this moment, we have only 1 type as Aqua: The blade width is 5.0mm and blade angle is 45-degree.
Aqua has good hydrophilicity. If you try to cut 1um sections, it’s no problem to do.
*See the details of the movie from the link below
As you know, 1um is also available to cut with a Histo knife, however some people don’t want to use a diamond blade due to various reasons.
It’s up to you to use this Aqua. You will probably find a brand new method for cutting by yourself.

We are planning to exhibit AIRAPT-29 at the end of September. This conference will take place from Sun. 28th of Sep. to Fri. 3rd of Oct. in Dogo, Matsuyama, Japan. As you might know, Matsuyama is a very beautiful city on the inland sea. This western old city is famous for the hill castle. This castle tower is 1 of 12 oldest and traditional castles in Japan. It has lasted more than 270 years since it was built. The place of the event is held in the center of a very famous hot spring area. This hot spring is 1 of the 3 oldest spas in Japan. It has nearly 500 years of history.

This time, our main product for showing is CVD anvils.
Generally, we have been providing plenty of diamond anvils with natural stones.
On the other hand, we have some requirements that are claiming lower price anvils due to several reasons.
We have already provided CVD bevel anvils for several customers and quality is satisfactory for each one.
Of course, we could make double bevel ones, however we haven’t got any opportunities to use this type at the experiments so far.
We will display the other products, too.
If you have some questions or ideas for your future projects, we are waiting to talk to you at our booth.
Look forward to seeing you in Matsuyama very soon!

We will exhibit our products at another conference in Wuhan, China. The name is 2025 National Conference on Electron Microscopy(2025年全国电子显微学学术年会). The event starts from Friday 26th to Tuesday 30th of September. We will be there with our local official distributor Ultravision who is based in Shanghai.

If you stay in China or around that country, why don’t you come to Wuhan and stop by our booth?
We will display new products that we have never showed you.
Even if you don’t look for anything at this moment, you may find something that you wanted at your deep psychological level.
Let’s talk about details at our booth and launch your future!
