Description: A slicing knife is between a chef’s knife and a paring knife, with a narrower and straighter blade. This makes it perfect for a multitude of small tasks where more precise cuts are needed, such as trimming broccoli, green beans, or other smaller vegetables. Some cooks like to use it in their hand, too—almost like a large paring knife. Others like its smaller size as an alternative to the chef’s knife. Slicing knives are sometimes called sandwich knives because they work well on almost everything that goes into a sandwich—from thin-skinned vegetables such as tomatoes, to meats and cheeses.
The Super Gold 2 stainless steel core (hagane) is surrounded by layers of softer stainless steel (jigane). At 63 Hrc, SG2 powdered metallurgical stainless steel offers a keen, long lasting edge without the care of carbon steel. Though the cutting edge is very hard, the small grain structure of SG2 makes sharpening and honing effortless. In our experience, SG2 is one of the best stainless steels currently being used to make kitchen knives. The blade is sharpened and finished by hand, which give it the excellent edge you'll enjoy from the first moment. The flats feature a unique, shining hammer finish that gives this line its name. The spine and choil are beautifully rounded, eliminating potential hot spots. The ambidextrous shinogi grind provides effortless food release while chopping and slicing. The blade is impressively lightweight, making it comfortable, even after hours of use. The detail-oriented K-tip makes this slicing knife particularly efficient.
The octagonal, ambidextrous octagonal handle combines teak with black buffalo horn. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
