{"product_id":"tetsujin-kasumi-aogami-2-sujihiki-240mm","title":"Tetsujin kasumi aogami#2 sujihiki 240mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-forged in Kochi, Japan by Toru Tamura, this 240mm sujihiki has an Aogami #2 core with iron cladding. The iron cladding shows subtle banding. At 240mm, this is a compact slicer, suited to those who prefer a nimble, maneuverable Japanese slicing knife over the longer 270mm or 300mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough this is technically a sujihiki, it can function as a multipurpose knife. It can take on certain gyuto-type tasks, so some would reasonably call it a \"slim gyuto\" instead. It is not uncommon for some pros to use a 240mm sujihiki as their main all-purpose blade instead of a gyuto. It cuts with less drag and feels light and nimble in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged in Kochi, Japan by Toru Tamura\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpened and finished by Naohito Myojin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e231mm (9.1\") cutting edge, 35.4mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAogami #2 carbon steel (~63 HRC) with iron cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctagonal ebony handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor left- and right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0; margin-top: 36px; margin-bottom: 36px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tetsujin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlacksmith\u003c\/strong\u003e: Toru Tamura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpener\u003c\/strong\u003e: Naohito Myojin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducing Area\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kochi, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: sujihiki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: kasumi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aogami#2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHRC\u003c\/strong\u003e: ~63\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: carbon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCladding\u003c\/strong\u003e: iron clad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade \u0026amp; Handle Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 388mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length - heel to tip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 231mm (9.1\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel\u003c\/strong\u003e: 35.4mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpine Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.8mm\u003cbr\u003e  At the handle: 2.7mm\u003cbr\u003e  At the heel: 2.0mm\u003cbr\u003e  Midway: 0.5mm\u003cbr\u003e  1cm from the tip:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 170g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle\u003c\/strong\u003e: octagonal mono ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: ambidextrous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaya\/Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f5f5f5; padding: 28px 24px 24px 32px; margin-top: 16px; border-radius: 6px; font-size: 0.85em;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left: 0; margin-left: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike.
