The Chromax RO Boss series uses Chromax stainless steel, a high-hardness stainless alloy that achieves 63-64 HRC without the reactive nature of carbon steel. The sanmai construction wraps the hard Chromax core in stainless cladding, protecting the blade flats and making the knife easy to maintain. The sujihiki is the Japanese equivalent of a Western slicing or carving knife - its long, narrow blade and minimal surface contact allow it to glide through roasts, fish fillets, and cured meats in clean, single-stroke cuts. At 240mm it is the ideal length for portioning at the pass or preparing sashimi-grade fish at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly with a ceramic or fine honing rod to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone to restore the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not cut frozen food or bones - the edge may chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic strip or in a knife block to protect the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Iron Clad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55411238240547,"sku":"Koutetsu chromax ro suji240","price":310.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/53FA5CA3-86F7-4719-99EC-61FD7363506C.jpg?v=1785822979","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/koutetsu-chromax-ro-boss-sujihiki-240mm","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
