Tokushu Knife Iron Clad White #2 Forged Finish Sujihiki 270mm – Custom Wa Handle

A 270mm slicer with your choice of custom wa handle

The Tokushu Knife Iron Clad White #2 Sujihiki combines a long, slender slicing profile with a forged finish and a choice of distinctive wooden wa handles. Its 270mm blade is suited to controlled draw cuts through boneless meat and fish, from carving a roast to portioning fillets.

Made in Japan, this sujihiki pairs a White #2 carbon steel core with iron cladding. The darker forged surface contrasts with the brighter edge area. Choose a complete knife with your preferred handle, or select the blade-only option for a separate handle fitting.

Carbon steel care

Both the White #2 core and iron cladding require attentive care. This knife is not stainless: moisture and acidic ingredients can cause discolouration and rust. A patina will develop through normal use.

• Hand wash with mild dish soap and dry thoroughly immediately after use.
• Wipe the blade clean and dry during preparation, especially after cutting acidic ingredients.
• Do not soak or place in a dishwasher.
• Apply a light coat of food-safe knife oil before extended storage.
• Keep the wooden handle dry and avoid prolonged contact with water.
• Use controlled cuts on a suitable cutting board. Avoid bones, frozen food, twisting and prying.
• Maintain the edge with suitable whetstones or a professional sharpening service.

Blade-only option

The blade-only option is supplied without a handle and weighs 111g. It is intended for a suitable wa handle to be fitted separately; do not use the bare tang as a handle.
