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. Utility 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.
Kurokaze chef's knives are hand forged by craftsmen in Japan. The shirogami 2 carbon steel core (hagane) is surrounded by layers of stainless steel, At 61 Hrc, shirogami offers a keen, long lasting edge that is a little more forgiving and easier to sharpen. Because the core is reactive, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust. Simply wash and dry the knife, then spray with just a little camellia oil. After lightly wiping it off, the micro-thin layer of oil helps protect the carbon steel. The blade features a satin finish in the grind and a forge finish above the shinogi. The ambidextrous shinogi grind provides effortless food release while chopping and slicing, while having very little wedging. The blade is distal tapered (beginning with a thick spine where the blade comes out of the handle and becoming progressively thinner as it approaches the detail-oriented tip). The spine is rounded for a comfortable pinch grip.
The octagonal "Wa" style handle is ambidextrous. Curly maple is surrounded by front and rear dyed and stabilized curly maple ferrule. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.
Kurokaze by Hatsukokoro chef's knives are a great choice for the cook who is looking for an economical carbon steel knife that is easy to work with and maintain.
