This Due Cigni Hakucho sashimi 22 cm is, as the name might already suggest, great when cutting fish for sushi. Because of the one-sided grind you can – with some experience – quickly end up with wafer-thin slices of fish. After all, the Japanese steel is thicker than European steel. As such you can create a sharper fold and a sharper edge. You can namely use a smaller sharpening angle. If you do the same with steel that is less hard, the edge can break. This one-sided grind, however, has also ensured that this sashimi knife is mostly suited for right-handed chefs.
## Due Cigni Hakucho handle
The classic Japanese handle is made from olive wood. The soft, light-brown colour and the fragrance of olives radiate luxury. The flaming pattern adds an extra dimension to the handle. The handle was secured to the full-tang blade with three stunning rivets. To maintain the stunning colour of the olive wood, and to not affect the sharpness of the blade, we recommend cleaning this knife by hand. Dry it after cleaning it to prevent discolourations or tears and to make sure the wood doesn’t bend.
## Due Cigni Hakucho blade
The blade is made from Nitro-B 4119 stainless steel.This is a type of steel with a high nitrogen content. It has an extremely thin microstructure and is highly resistant to corrosion. This type of steel is also easy to sharpen at home, should it lose some of its sharpness over time. The beautiful Kanji characters on the blade provide the finishing touch.
## Due Cigni Hakucho collection
The kitchen knives from the Due Cigni Hakucho collection were designed by Oreste Frati. The founder of FOX Knives. In addition to being the owner of Fox Knives, he is a gifted designer. He used the Japanese style as the basis for this collection of kitchen knives. The stunning markings on the blade emphasize this, and add to the design. The knives are produced in Italy.
