Description: Forge to Table was started by chef Noah Rosen. Their knives are hand forged by a 3rd generation blacksmith in China. The steels used in the blades are made by Takefu Special Steel in Japan. Forge to Table knives bring an affordable, yet quality option to the world of culinary knives.
Sujihiki are slicers or carving knives that are well suited for slicing and portioning meats and fish due to the thin, long blade. Extremely sharp, they are also well suited to preparing sushi and sashimi. The extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke, instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion. The result is a superior, clean cut.
Forge to Table blades are hand forged from premium Japanese VG10 san mai stainless steel with a kurouchi (blacksmith's) finish. VG10 takes and holds a razor sharp edge -- ensuring a smooth and effortless cut. This gives the blade an exceedingly tough, long lasting and chip resist edge that is relatively easy to sharpen. A hollow grind provides thin geometry and an easy to touch up cutting edge. The blacksmith's kurouchi finish helps food release from the side of the blade.
The Japanese style octagonal handle is made from African padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii) with a buffalo horn ferrule. It is comfortable for both right and left handed users. Padauk wood will hold up extremely well in the harsh environment of either a professional or home kitchen. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
The knife is shipped in a wood display box featuring Forge to Table's logo.
