Kazan SLD Wa-Sujihiki 240mm (9.4")

 

Description

We developed this new line of Kazan knives with a knifemaker in Niigata, Japan, using SLD steel. SLD steel was designed as a cutting steel and is known for its strength, toughness and excellent edge retention. Kazan SLD has an HRC of 60 - 62 and has the edge retention of a carbon steel knife as a stainless knife.

Kazan SLD features a beautiful cross hatch pattern and hand fitted walnut wa-handles and each knife is finished on a series of stones for maximum sharpness out of the box.

Kazan is made exclusively for Chubo.

Why we love them: Carbon steel performance in a stainless knife at a reasonable price.

About this shape

Sujihiki knives are the equivalent to a European slicer with a few differences. First, the blade is typically thinner and made out of a harder steel, allowing for better edge retention. Additionally, the bevel on the blade is sharpened at a steeper angle, allowing for a more precise cut. Sujihiki can be used for filleting, carving and general slicing purposes.
