About this range

First Impressions

An outstanding flat grind and very thin edge show perform very well indeed. The thicker spine and in particular above the heel with its aggressive taper push through food comfortably and smoothly. 

In Hand

The SLD is a mid weight knife across the range and the feel in hand with the thicker spine above the heel is very comfortable and lends itself well to nimble use across a range of jobs while the impressively thin cutting edge glides through ingredients. 

This range of knives has been fitted with a D-shape wa handle.

Durability

The knives in the Ohishi SLD range have been treated to around 62-63 which offers a great balance of edge durability, retention and robustness.

Ease of Care

The core steel is semi stainless SLD so is reactive but on a fairly low level so when combined with the stainless cladding it's pretty easy to keep the knife in great order. 

Normal care instructions apply and we'd definitely recommend pairing this with one of the Konosuke saya or storing it on a magnetic rack of stand. 

Our Verdict

Understated traditional looks with the kurouchi finish paired with an excellent edge out of the box, the SLD sits at a great price point for anyone looking for a quality finish and durable steel that has relatively low maintenance needs.

Range Specifications

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.

Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
