Description: The Dragon Fire Apogee Slicing Knife (DRGF-SLIC-1050) 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. If you’re looking for a lighter, more nimble portioning kitchen knife, the Dragon Fire Sujihiki is sure to become your go-to knife.
Japanese knives have always known for their high performing, precision edges. Regretfully, this is often combined with a slightly more delicate blade than their European counterparts. Dragon Fire by Yaxell bridges that gap – combining Japanese styling, sharpness and performance, while bringing European durability. The Dragon Fire Series is made in Japan from American-made nitrogen steel – BDN1N. Yaxell is well known for producing some of the best made knives available today. Handcrafted in Seki City, master craftsmen pay special attention to every knife so that a perfect kitchen knife is made every time.
BD1N nitrogen steel (Hrc 63 - very hard!) combines a razor edge with durability. Hand sharpened to a 16 degree bevel, it creates a high performing precision edge that will last extraordinarily well for years to come. The 50/50 edge is equally good for left and right handed users.
Ergonomically crafted from FDA-approved red/black linen Micarta, the handles are smooth, yet grippy when wet. Micarta holds up beautifully to the high demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. Three stainless steel rivets and a stainless endcap set the handle in place. The end-cap is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which provides outstanding stability and balance.
Lifetime warranty.
