Kikuichi NWD Nickel Warikomi Damascus 9.4-inch (240mm) Sujihiki

Kikuichi’s NWD sujihiki is a 9.4-inch (240mm) slicer clad in 45 layers of nickel and stainless steel around an AUS10 core, with a light octagonal rosewood handle. Its model number, NWD245, refers to the line’s product code, and Kikuichi lists the blade at 24 cm.

Its slim profile glides through the cut, portions large roasts, delicate fish for sashimi and terrines with ease, and leaves a clean face on each slice, and the damascus surface hides the light scratches of daily use. Because the wa handle weighs so little, the blade does the work, and a long, single stroke takes very little pressure. Hone it lightly before each carving session. It is a knife for cooks who carve and slice regularly and want the damascus pattern to match a Nickel Warikomi Damascus gyuto on the same block.
