Fierce in presence, stunning in sophistication. The Firestorm Alpha Helios Chef Slicer pulls inspiration from the famed maguro kiri bōchō to bring the storied history of ultra-specialized Japanese cutlery traditions to your kitchen.
It is both a powerful tool and a breathtaking centerpiece. The impressive but still manageable 17” single-bevel blade with solid AUS-10V Japanese steel is ready to take on your biggest conquests — from tuna and swordfish to large roasts and whole hogs. Experience effortless, ultra-thin slicing with a hand-sharpened, 20° angle blade, while the traditional Japanese octagon handle lets you get the firm, two-handed grip to strike and slice with a single stroke.
