⭐ Chosen by Sharp Knives Malta
A beautifully crafted Japanese slicing knife that combines razor-sharp performance, elegant Damascus steel, and a striking hammered finish. Built for clean, effortless slices every time.
Long, Smooth Cuts with Professional Precision
The Sujihiki is the Japanese equivalent of a carving knife, designed specifically for slicing meat, poultry, fish, and roasts in a single continuous motion.
Its long, narrow blade reduces friction, helping you achieve clean cuts without tearing delicate proteins or losing valuable juices.
Perfect for:
- Roast beef and brisket
- Ham and turkey
- Smoked meats

Premium VG10 Stainless Steel Core
At the heart of the blade is VG10 stainless steel, one of Japan's most trusted premium knife steels.
It offers an excellent balance of:

VG10 has earned its reputation among both professional chefs and home cooks for delivering reliable cutting performance with minimal upkeep.
Damascus Cladding with Tsuchime Finish
The blade combines two traditional Japanese finishes.
The elegant Damascus cladding creates beautiful flowing layered patterns that make every knife unique.
Above the Damascus line, the blade features a Tsuchime (hammered) finish, which not only adds visual character but also helps reduce food sticking to the blade during slicing.
The result is a knife that performs exceptionally while showcasing traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Made from layers of hardwood infused with resin, Pakka wood offers:
