Nenox is a high-end Western handle line from the venerable Nenohi company based in Tokyo. The Nenox line is designed to be durable, elegant, and extremely comfortable in one's hands, and meant to withstand much of the work even in the most demanding professional settings.  The steel used in this series takes a bit of time to sharpen, but once done, it holds an edge for a long time, and very chip resistant. The ergonomically shaped handles offer some of the best in-hand feelings among our offerings (they wow so many clients handling them at the store), and along with near friction-fit wooden sheaths, Nenox line is a whole package. 

A slicer ('Sujiihki' in Japanese) is a valuable tool for skinning, trimming and/or portioning protein items (fillet of salmon or turkey breast). Depending on the length, professionals use it as a utility blade or use it during service on the line. For home cooks, a slicer is a great blade for those special times of the year where you want to get even slices without striations on your turkey breasts and other roasts.
