Sujihiki 230mm Wine Barrel Wrought & Apex Ultra

Meticulously forged by Harbeer Chahal, this classic Sujihiki is a beautiful and practical high performance slicer. At the heart of this blade lies the premium Apex Ultra core steel, known for its exceptional hardness and toughness. At 66 HRC this ultra-hard steel ensures that the Sujihiki maintains an incredibly sharp edge, ideal for precision slicing and carving tasks. Complementing the cutting edge is the beautiful wrought iron cladding, ingeniously upcycled from wine barrel straps from the prestigious winery le mas blanc de boaça in Alenya, France. This unique choice of material not only imbues the blade with historical significance but also showcases a commitment to sustainable craftsmanship.

The rustic wood grain texture of the wrought iron cladding adds a distinct, organic element to the knife. This texture provides a beautiful contrast to the satin polish finish on the core, enhancing its overall visual appeal. The Kurouchi finish further accentuates the knife's rustic aesthetic, making it a stunning addition to any culinary collection. The deep, natural patterns of the wrought iron are a testament to the material's origins and the meticulous handcrafting process, resulting in a blade that is as visually captivating as it is functional.

In terms of ergonomics, the Sujihiki knife features a hidden tang handle constructed from violet and Karelian birch woods. These premium materials offer not only a striking visual contrast but also a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring precision and control during use. With an overall length of 385mm and a weight of 171g, the knife is well-balanced, allowing for effortless manoeuvrability. The blade's dimensions, including a spine thickness that tapers from 2.67mm at the heel to 1.22mm near the tip, are carefully designed to provide optimal performance. This sujihiki from Harbeer Chahal is a highly functional kitchen slicer, reflecting a harmonious blend of tradition, innovation, and sustainable craftsmanship.
