Product Overview

The SRX270-S pairs a silver blade with a dark brown-painted poplar handle and a black nylon bolster. The contrasting handle treatment distinguishes the SRX appearance from the lighter wood handles of the SR range.

The 420J2 stainless-steel blade has a stated hardness of HRC 50–53. Made in Seki, Japan, this 270 mm sashimi model sits alongside the shorter SRX240-S in the same brown-handled series.

SRX270-S in a tabletop or preparation setting

Choose a long blade for sashimi preparation

Choose the SRX270-S for the slicing stage of sashimi preparation rather than for the broad range of chopping tasks associated with a chef knife. Its long, narrow 270 mm blade defines the format: consider that cutting span when planning the fish portions, then arrange the finished sashimi separately on a serving platter.

Distinguish the brown-painted SRX handle

The dark brown handle and black bolster give the SRX series its appearance. The SRX240-S repeats that treatment with a shorter sashimi blade, while the lighter-handled SR models provide a different visual option.

Compare blade length, not overall knife length

The 270 mm measurement describes the blade. Compare it with the blade measurements of the 270 mm SR270-S and 300 mm SR300-S, keeping handle construction and any separately stated overall length as distinct details.
