Hatsuokokoro x Yoshikane White 2 Nashiji Sujihiki 240mm

Discover the exceptional Hatsuokokoro x Yoshikane White 2 Nashiji Sujihiki 240mm, a premier Japanese kitchen knife designed for the discerning chef. This collaboration piece embodies the renowned craftsmanship of Yoshikane Hamono, featuring a Shirogami #2 (White 2) carbon steel core known for its ability to take and hold an incredibly sharp, bitey edge. The blade is finished with a rustic Nashiji (pear skin) pattern and clad in stainless steel, offering the high performance of carbon steel with easier maintenance and less worry about rust.

This 240mm Sujihiki profile is the quintessential Japanese slicing knife. Its long, thin blade is expertly crafted for the artful, precise carving of cooked meats, terrines, and pâtés, facilitating smooth, single-stroke slices. The convex grind on the primary bevels enhances food release and reduces sticking, a hallmark of Yoshikane’s Sanjo-style craftsmanship that delivers what is often described as the ultimate ‘Kireaji’ or ‘Cutting Taste.’

The Japanese kitchen knife is fitted with a minimalist yet elegant octagonal ebony handle. Crafted from a single piece of richly colored, durable ebony, the handle features a subtle taper and a highly polished glossy finish, providing a secure, comfortable grip and a touch of traditional luxury.

With a spine that tapers gracefully from 4.0mm at the heel to a fine 0.9mm at the tip and a weight of 185g, this Japanese kitchen knife feels nimble and precise in hand. It’s an ideal tool for professional chefs, culinary students, and enthusiasts seeking a high-performance, double-bevel slicer that exemplifies the pinnacle of Japanese knife-making.
