students seeking a dedicated slicer for proteins. The double-bevel blade measures 270mm and utilises san-mai stainless Damascus construction with a Tsuchime surface finish. As a Sujihiki profile, this knife is designed for thin carving of proteins and slicing terrines, where the slim blade reduces surface contact and friction during long drawing cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VG10 core achieves 59-61 HRC and offers stain resistance alongside edge retention. This stainless-clad blade is easy to look after and suits users prioritising straightforward maintenance. The construction is on the thicker side, providing durability for household use. A Western Pakka Wood handle without a bolster pairs with the blade, offering a lightweight and stable grip through resin-infused wood fibre. Produced by Aoki Hamono in Sakai, this knife represents a collaborative manufacturing approach that delivers consistent fit and finish for non-professional users.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sakai
