Description: The Ao-Zora 9-1/2 inch Sujihiki is an exceptional slicing and portioning knife. It’s ideal for meat and fish, yet performs beautifully on vegetables too. The long, slender blade provides a perfect, clean cut. The right side is slightly convex ground, while the left side is flat ground. The helps a right-handed chef by pushing food away from the knife while it is sliced, reducing sticking. If you’re looking for a lighter, more nimble portioning kitchen knife, the Ao-Zora Sujihiki is sure to become your go-to knife.
Ao-Zora knives feature a premium Super Blue (aogami super) carbon steel core. This is surrounded by protective SUS410 stainless steel. There is probably no finer combination of durability and "sharpenability" than Aogami Super steel. The fine grain particulates in this steel allow a beautifully fine edge to be attained, which will then be extremely durable for a long time. The combination of a high performance carbon steel core and stainless sides also provides easier care. It is hardened to Hrc 64 for superior edge retention. This gives the blade an exceedingly tough, long lasting and chip resistant edge that is relatively easy to sharpen. While it is much easier to care for this knife than a full carbon steel knife, it still must be hand washed and dried to avoid rusting the core. We recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust.
The blade is exceptionally thin and cuts with virtually no resistance. A convex grind assists food release, minimizing suction when slicing more delicate, moist foods.
A stainless steel bolster separates the blade from the Western style handle. A triple riveted tang runs the full length of the handle for strength and longevity. The comfortable handle is made from Micarta. Micarta holds up exceptionally well to the rigorous demands of a home or commercial kitchen and does not shrink over time.
Ao-Zora knives by Ohishi are sure to be a favorite in your kitchen.
