Tadafusa "Ookami" Tsuchime Sujihiki 270mm SLD

270mm slicer, only 135 grams. Long and thin, so you slice in one pull instead of sawing. Roast, brisket, ham, a whole salmon side. This is a knife your gyuto cannot replace, and most kitchens do not have one.

Because the core is SLD semi-stainless, it handles a wet job without worry, and a slicer spends its life on wet meat and fish, so that matters here more than on a vegetable knife.

Ookami is Tadafusa's hammered line, real Sanjo workhorse geometry: 4,2mm at the spine by the handle, down to 0,7mm near the tip. D-shape ho wood handle.

All knives JNS carry are handmade, one by one. Size and thickness can vary a little, and small marks in the finish can happen. This is normal for a handmade knife.
