As each knife is individually hand-forged, there may be slight variations in size and weight from one knife to another. These variations are a natural characteristic of handmade craftsmanship and should be understood as part of the individuality of each knife. However, they do not affect the sharpness or performance of the knife.
This Sujihiki features Aogami #2 as its core steel, clad on both sides with stainless steel. It combines the excellent sharpness and edge retention characteristic of Aogami #2 with the ease of maintenance provided by stainless steel, allowing for smooth and precise slicing of ingredients.
The long 280mm blade is ideal for slicing large cuts of meat and fish in a single, smooth stroke. It is particularly well suited for slicing roast beef, sashimi, and large cuts of meat. By using a long pulling motion, the blade allows you to create clean, smooth cuts while maintaining a beautiful surface on the food. This knife is designed to make the most of its long blade for delicate and precise slicing work.
The blade features a traditional Nashiji finish. The subtle texture of the Nashiji finish gives the blade a distinctive appearance and allows you to enjoy the natural character created through hand-forging. The stainless steel cladding also provides excellent practicality while maintaining the beauty of the blade.
The handle features a burnt lacquer finish. The natural character of the wood is preserved while being finished with lacquer, creating a refined appearance and a comfortable, secure grip. It is easy to handle even during extended periods of use and complements the traditional character of a Japanese kitchen knife.
The knife will be delivered in a dedicated presentation box. In addition to protecting the knife during shipping, the packaging provides a special experience when opening the product.
Combining the excellent sharpness and edge retention of Aogami #2, the smooth slicing performance provided by the 280mm blade, and the practicality of stainless steel cladding, this Sujihiki is designed to provide reliable performance for slicing meat and fish and to be enjoyed for many years to come.
