Touroku Sakai Blue Super Stainless Clad Hammered Sujihiki 240mm

Built for clean, uninterrupted slicing, the Touroku Sakai Hammered Sujihiki is designed to move through proteins with minimal resistance while maintaining excellent control and edge retention. At the core of the blade is Blue Super carbon steel, one of the most respected high-performance Japanese steels available. Known for exceptional edge retention and refined cutting feel, Blue Super is capable of taking an extremely sharp edge while maintaining long-term cutting performance. The stainless steel cladding helps simplify maintenance while preserving the responsiveness and feedback carbon steel users appreciate. The long, narrow blade profile minimizes drag during slicing, making the Sujihiki ideal for carving proteins, portioning fish, and creating clean presentation cuts. The hammered tsuchime finish helps improve food release while adding texture and visual character across the blade face. The blade geometry feels thin and highly efficient through product while maintaining enough stability for confident slicing work. Whether working with cooked proteins, raw fish, or larger cuts of meat, the knife delivers smooth, controlled cuts with very little resistance. Fitted with an octagonal mono Enkoku oak handle, the smoke-darkened wood enhances the traditional feel of the knife while maintaining a lightweight and balanced grip in hand. For those looking for a highly refined slicing knife with excellent edge retention, clean cutting performance, and traditional Sakai craftsmanship, the Hammered Sujihiki offers an excellent balance of performance and visual character. Note: This Sujihiki has an exposed core of Blue Super carbon steel, which is not stainless. Please follow care instructions for Carbon Steel here.
