Nenox X Series Golden Yellow Birch Sujihiki 270 & Saya

Nenox X Golden Yellow Birch 270mm Slicer

This Nenox custom slicer has been reimagined in a thinner, sharper version. All hand made by the same meticulous methods as all Nenox custom blades. Pressure dyed Birch handles give an earthy feel. The handle is further enhanced with a polished stainless bolster and end cap.

The overall grind of the blade is a slippery hamaguri with a microbevel that is hand finished on hard natural stone stone. The results – a cutting experience that can only be described as silky.

Strictly limited.

Note: The handle colour tone and pattern will be different knife to knife.

Saya - knife sheath - included.

Nenox X Series

In the words of Nenohi: The X series has succeeded in commercializing a very delicate steel material, which was impossible to process in the past, using a unique manufacturing method cultivated through years of research. The sharpness of the X series is superior to that of the S series, and it is a "sharpness-specific type" that is as good as our full-custom steel.

True custom knives that are handmade piece by piece by Sawada san and his small team of craftsmen in Kanagawa. Only the best materials are selected combined with painstaking craftsmanship to create these highly desirable knives. 

The blades are slowly ground from high carbon stainless steel in the same time consuming and careful methods employed by custom knifemakers.

Extra care is taken never to overheat the blade.

Although the price is high (and it is very high) knowing the degree of workmanship that is distilled in each and every Nenox Custom knife makes these seem very good value for money. It’s not hard to see why the top end knives from Nenox find their way into some of the best kitchens in the world.

Nenox Knives

The Nenox brand was born in 1993 due the demand for stainless steel western style blades in Japan. At that time Tokyo chefs were using European made stainless blades but complained about a lack of sharpness compared to carbon steel.

After years of designing, repeated testing of shape, steel type and sharpening Nenohi brought their first western style knives to market under the brand Nenox.

Nenox is committed to the philosophy of continual improvement, innovation, attention to detail and securing top quality materials. Their knives have incremently changed over the years and have an enviable reputation among the elite chefs of Tokyo and beyond.

Chef's Armoury are proud to be the official agent for Nenox kitchen knives in Australia.
