MAC BSC 85 Japanese Series 8½ Inch Professional Sushi Chef Knife - High Carbon Steel Blade for Precision Cutting - Perfect for Sushi Making, Fish Filleting & Japanese Cuisine (Free Shipping)

Product Description

This is a non-stick coated version of the HB-85 8½ chef's knife in the Chef series.  The gradual taper from heel to tip is in the style of the Gyuto (Japanese version of the chef's knife).  The non-stick coating helps this knife to easily slice through sushi rolls where the rice would normally gum up the blade.  The razor-sharp edge easily cuts through tough nori (seaweed) and the non-stick surface glides through the remainder of the cut without having to wipe the blade after making every slice.
