The TOJIRO Color Series Slicer (Sujihiki) 270mm Black is built for clean, efficient slicing in busy kitchens. This long, narrow Japanese slicing knife is designed to glide through proteins with less drag, making it a great choice for carving roasts, portioning cooked meats, slicing fish, and handling prep where a chef knife feels too tall or broad. Made in Tsubame, Niigata, Japan, the Color Series gives cooks dependable TOJIRO performance in a simple, low-maintenance package that is especially well suited to professional use.
The 270mm blade is the longer of the two Color Series slicing options and gives you extra reach for larger roasts, whole fish fillets, smoked meats, and other slicing jobs where longer strokes produce cleaner results. The sujihiki profile keeps the blade narrow to reduce drag, while the thin grind helps minimize tearing and ragged cuts. The black handle gives the knife a clean, understated look while still offering the durability and easy handling that make this series popular in working kitchens.
The blade is made from molybdenum vanadium stainless steel, a tough and practical alloy widely used in commercial kitchen knives for its corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of sharpening. Heat treated to 57-59 HRC, it holds a solid working edge through regular kitchen use and can be touched up easily on quality water stones or a ceramic rod. The mono steel construction keeps the knife straightforward, durable, and easy to maintain.
The antibacterial elastomer handle is comfortable, grippy, and easy to clean, making it a smart choice for line cooks, culinary students, caterers, and home cooks who want a durable Japanese slicing knife without extra fuss. While the handle is designed for commercial kitchen environments, we still recommend hand washing to extend the life of both the blade and handle.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry after use. Avoid the dishwasher for best longevity. Use a wood or soft synthetic cutting board. Avoid bones, frozen foods, and hard surfaces to protect the edge. Sharpen on quality water stones or touch up with a ceramic rod.
