About Desert Ironwood
Desert Ironwood is made from 50 to 100 year old carbonized roots from the Southwestern deserts of The United States and Mexico. The Nenox steel and lovely dark brown wooden handle allows for a vintage look without sacrificing practicality. Every piece is unique as no two handles have exactly the same shape or color.
Purpose of Sujihiki
The sujihiki is a slicing knife intended for slicing boneless fish filets. It can also be used to slice boneless roasts, hams and poultry breasts. The short height of the blade creates less friction when slicing and the blade draws through fish and meat effortlessly using the entire length of the blade. The sujihiki is the Western-style equivalent the traditional yanagi knife.
