Kurotori Tanzo Ginsan Sujihiki 240mm
About Kurotori Tanzo— The 6th-generation blacksmith Hiroshi Kajiwara-san is the main force behind this Kurotori Tanzo in Shimanto city in Kochi prefecture. He can forge many different types of knives and tools to meet the needs and demands of the locals. Since Shimanto is a town of forestry and fishery, they make everything from axes to knives for fishermen. When visiting them, he casually took a knife blank from the forge and sharpened it to a finished knife in a matter of minutes; it was an awe-inspiring feat. Kurotori Tanzo, is one of those smaller shops that is worth watching.
About the shape - Sujihiki translates literally to 'Flesh Slicer' and it does exactly what the name suggests. It's perfect for carving and slicing roasts, turkey, raw meats, fish, and all other proteins. The extended blade length allows you to slice with one long stroke instead of sliding the knife back and forth in a sawing motion, and the reduced surface area prevents the blade from sticking to the meat. Clean slices of brisket or ultra thin applications like Carpaccio will become a breeze to execute.
