Premium Japanese SUSHI CHEF'S KNIFE - MAC BSC 85 Series 8½ Inch High-Carbon Steel Blade - Razor Sharp for Sushi, Sashimi & Fish Cutting - Free Shipping - Perfect for Professional Chefs & Home Cooking Enthusiasts

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.
