Specifications

The Hatsukokoro Yorokobi SLD kurouchi copper damascus sujihiki 240mm is a handcrafted Japanese slicing knife. The blade combines a kurouchi finish with an exposed copper damascus, which is accentuated by etching the core SLD steel. This creates a vivid contrast between the dark kurouchi surface and the copper damascus. The knife's 240mm length offers a good balance between maneuverability and reach.

This sujihiki is primarily designed for slicing boneless meats, fish, and other proteins. Its long, thin blade allows for smooth, clean cuts with minimal drag, making it ideal for tasks like portioning roasts, slicing ham or smoked salmon, or preparing sashimi. The knife's design also lends itself well to other precision cutting tasks in the kitchen where long, draw cuts are beneficial.

FAQ

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.

When will out-of-stock items be restocked? We carry limited, rotating stock. Once something sells out, we don't necessarily reorder it right away.
