Zakuri Kurouchi Sujihiki 24 cm Aogami 1

The Zakuri Kurouchi Sujihiki knife is designed for cutting thin slices of fish and meat. It has a narrow, 240 mm long blade. Its superior performance is especially valuable in situations that demand high precision.

Zakuri kitchen knives are handmade by young and talented blacksmiths from the Tosa region. They are made of carbon steel called Aogami #1, and the special Kurouchi finish protects the hard blades from patina and tarnishing. They have been hardened to a high level of 62-64 HRC. This affordable knife collection combines excellent steel and cutting properties with a classic character. The D-shaped handle fits perfectly in the hand. It is made of chestnut wood. Zakuri knives are not stainless, so they must be dried after each use.
