Nenox Sujihiki 285mm (11.2") Red Jigged Bone Handle with Saya Cover

Nenohi blades offer the durability and sharpness of a traditional Japanese carbon-steel knife, but are rust resistant and easier to maintain. Nenox knives have a hamaguriba (clam shaped blade) from the edge all the way to the spine. Since it has no flat surface, there is minimal friction against the food you're cutting, resulting in less cell damage and a smoother cut. To achieve this shape, they sharpen and polish the edge, mid-section and spine of the blade separately, by hand. After much trial and error, they found that an HRC of 61 is the optimum hardness for Nenohi knives to possess the right balance of superior cutting edge, ductility and edge retention.
This knife is made honyaki style, with one piece of high carbon steel, and with a 55/45 edge, it can easily be sharpened to suit your preference, whether you are right or left handed.
The blade is the same as the SD series and is top of the Nenohi line. It has an even more ductile blade than the G-type series, meaning that it is even more durable.

It has Hand Dyed Jigged Bone Steel Type for the handle and each knife has a unique dyed pattern.
*Please be advised that each product varies in appearance because the Jigged Bone used for the handle is all natural and hand dyed. The knife you receive will be unique and slightly different from the image.

The sujihiki is a Japanese-style slicing knife with a thinner, sharper edge than Western versions. The long blade of the sujihiki is ideal for thinly carving cooked meats and slicing terrines and patés. It can also be used instead of a yanagi to slice raw fish.
