The blade's spine and upper flanks carry a kurouchi (forge skin) finish, giving way to a polished bevel that reveals the characteristic transition between the two steels. Kanji are engraved on the blade face. The tsuchime hammered texture along the transition zone creates micro-reliefs that reduce food adhesion during slicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sujihiki is a double-bevel (ryoba) slicing knife designed for long, drawing cuts through whole pieces: roasted meats, poultry, and fish fillets. Its long, narrow 240 mm blade allows clean, single-pass cuts without tearing. The low, tapered profile with a gently curved spine leading to a fine, precise tip makes it well-suited for working through large cuts. This format is at home in both professional kitchens and demanding home use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe octagonal wa-handle is crafted from a wood with an open, pronounced grain in warm golden to medium-brown tones with dark veining — a dense, visually structured material. There is no distinct ferrule: the blade inserts directly into the wood in the traditional wa-handle partial-tang style. The octagonal shape provides a comfortable grip suited to all hand sizes, with natural blade orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn hand, this sujihiki is characterized by blade-forward balance, typical of lightweight wa-handles. The fine bevel geometry allows gliding cuts with minimal resistance. The kurouchi finish on the blade body reduces lateral friction when slicing through long cuts. This knife is aimed at cooks seeking a precise, agile slicer equally at ease on a duck breast or a salmon fillet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry the blade after each use. Avoid the dishwasher, which damages the edge and can alter the kurouchi finish. Sharpening on a water stone is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oul Sakai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47665557110958,"sku":"AoSuperTsuchimeSuji240Oak","price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8600\/4398\/files\/oul-sakai-aogami-super-tsuchime-kurouchi-sujihiki-240mm-oak-1_afb398ea-6e06-4ec5-9374-84e6f4b929e2.jpg?v=1774357832","url":"https:\/\/staysharpmtl.com\/en\/products\/oul-sakai-aogami-super-tsuchime-kurouchi-sujihiki-240mm-oak","provider":"Stay Sharp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
