KAZUKO 240 - Sujihiki/Slicer 240mm Blade
KAZUKO 240 - Sujihiki ( Slicer, Slicing, Fillet Knife) 240mm Blade - 45 Layer Damascus Steel Hammered - Made in Seki City of Japan
The blade is elongated and thinner than Gyutoh (butcher knife for meat) and is used primarily to cut apart large pieces of meat. This type can easily cut away meat with the tendons still intact when slicing the beef shank hung by a S hook. The Sujihiki knife’s true purpose extends further to dividing the meat through the tendons into blocks of a few kilograms. In restaurants, the more expensive the ingredient becomes, such as file mignon or sirloins, tendons that are hard to bite through are carved away in preparation. Since the blade is thin, it can cleanly remove the tendons without wasting any meat, preventing loss, which makes this knife an indispensable knife to professional chefs handling beef products.
