Haku is made out of a single piece of 100% high carbon inox steel, this knife is an ideal choice for professional chefs and culinary students looking to foray into the world of Japanese knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Haku was born for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith many knives that focus on the initial edge, Nenohi thought about how they could create a knife that is durable and can answer the demands of a modern kitchen. A balance must be struck between a very thin, performance-driven blade and a much thicker western-style blade used for heavy chopping tasks. Haku sits in that ideal middle ground: it performs delicate knife cuts with ease but also stands up to heavier tasks in a professional environment. It was originally heat treated to 61 HRC, later reduced to 58 HRC for a more versatile, ductile and easier-to-maintain knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLogo on Haku Knives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Haku logo was designed by Masako Inkyo, a world-renowned and award-winning calligraphy master, who is the official shodoka (Japanese calligrapher) for Nissan's luxury vehicle division, Infiniti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSujihiki Slicing Knife\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSujihiki (lit. muscle pulling, meaning muscle or tendon cutter) is the Japanese adaptation of western-style slicers. These knives are made thinner and shorter than chef's knives, nakiri and santoku in order to minimize friction while slicing meat and fish. Some chefs will use this style of knife to prepare sashimi and sushi in lieu of a yanagi-ba for its favorable maintenance requirements versus single bevel knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHaku Sujihiki FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a sujihiki used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlicing cooked or raw proteins — roast beef, turkey, brisket, ham, salmon and sashimi — with long, clean strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e240mm or 270mm sujihiki?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 240mm is lighter and easier to handle for most home cooks.
