Sujihiki 240mm B1D Aogami #1 Damascus Clad Cherry & Oak
Pickup available at Berlin Showroom
Usually ready in 24 hours
Forged in Sakai, Japan by master blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka, the core steel on this HADO Sumi B1D Sujihiki 240mm 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 240mm is a remarkable fusion of craftsmanship, performance, and aesthetics.

Product Care:
Cleaning: Clean by hand with warm water. Avoid wetting the handle when possible.
Sharpening: We advise using whetstones to sharpen your knives and a honing rod or steel to maintain the burr between sharpening sessions.
Reactive Steels: Reactive steels like Aogami Super, Apex Ultra or one of the many premium reactive German and Swedish steels are susceptible to rust if not properly cared for. In this case we advise that you keep the knife dry between uses and when storing the knife for longer periods wiping the knife blade with Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil is a wise choice. This will not stop a patina forming on the blade, but it will stop rust. A patina can be a beautiful personal feature on your knife and helps to stop rust forming. So, dry your knife regularly between uses, store in a dry place and apply some Tsubaki oil from time to time when storing for long periods.
A reference guide to steel types
Handle Care: If you have a knife with a non-stabilised wooden handle, you can apply Tsubaki oil or another food safe oil to your handle from time to time. Food safe wax can be applied to both stabilised and no-stabilised wooden handles. Never apply hot wax or oil as you risk warping or damaging the handle.
