    Haruyuki Soba Sujihiki 240mm

    $253.00

    About the Shape -“Sujihiki” translates to “Flesh Slicer” and it does exactly what the name suggests, perfect for carving and slicing roasts, turkey, raw meats, fish, and all other proteins and the extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke, instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion. Making clean slices of brisket or ultra thin applications like Carpaccio a breeze to execute.

    About Haruyuki Soba -  These knives are the perfect gateway into Japanese knives and make a perfect gift. They look great, and have a familiar feel because of the western style handle and the performance of the steel will blow you away. They feel rugged, yet agile and will make you a better cook!

    These are forged out of ZA18, stainless steel that is harder than your average kitchen knife but not quite as hard as some of the carbon and high-tech steel of Japan. In normal speak, it will keep an incredible edge for a long time but is more durable than some higher-end knives. As you get used to using one of these knives, you will find that the fine edge requires less force when cutting. Using less force translates into better edge retention over time. The handle is made from Pakkawood, a durable material made of wood that has been heat-treated with resin. It looks like wood but is way more durable. The edge has been sharpened by hand with a Western-style 50/50 bevel making it suitable for almost any kitchen task.

    The kanji on the knife blade “春幸” means “Haruyuki”.

    Stainless steel is super handy because it doesn’t rust or stain easily like carbon steel. That said, remember it is stain-less, not stain-never. While it is much easier to care for than high-carbon steel, it does benefit from proper use: use it, wash it, dry it and put it away. Always avoid the dishwasher!

    USE  

    • Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad  because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with  your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

    • Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End  grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

    • The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the  knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly  damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

    CLEANING  

    • After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

    • Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe wax.

    STORING  

    • Protect the edge for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or in a travel case.  

    • The convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

    • The good ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected, so  can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, it should keep the edge from touching  anything else.
