Sujihiki 270mm B1D Aogami #1 Damascus Clad Cherry & Oak

Forged in Sakai, Japan by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka, the core steel on this HADO Sumi B1D Sujihiki 270mm is a custom-forged San Mai laminate featuring Aogami #1, clad in a subtly refined yet beautifully finished Damascus. Aogami steel offers exceptional edge retention, sharpness, and toughness, making it an outstanding choice for precision slicing.

This Sujihiki from HADO features a sleek, streamlined profile optimized for effortless slicing. Ground and sharpened by HADO Knives’ Tadataka Maruyama, the spine maintains a consistent thickness, beautifully polished up until the primary bevel. From there, it tapers rapidly towards the tip, providing excellent balance and control. A wide bevel, flat-ground blade, these knives are exceptionally sharp and thin behind the edge. A slight flex when pressing your fingernail against the edge highlights just how finely ground and keen these knives are.

Designed for precision and finesse, the sujihiki excels in slicing proteins with minimal resistance, ensuring ultra-clean cuts. With its fine, razor-sharp edge, it glides effortlessly through fish, meats, and other delicate ingredients.

Elegant in every aspect, the Sumi B1D series showcases a striking contrast of dark black Kurouchi, subtly etched Damascus, and satin-polished bevels. The handle is a stunning and unique combination of cherry bark and oak, finished with a thick, durable lacquer clear coat.

As the latest addition to HADO Knives' exceptional lineup of Sakai-made premium kitchen knives, the Sumi B1D Sujihiki 270mm is a remarkable fusion of craftsmanship, performance, and aesthetics.
