Sujihiki – Japan's Slicing Specialist

The 240 mm blade is designed for long, uninterrupted slicing strokes, making it ideal for:

• carving roast meats
• slicing steaks
• portioning fish fillets
• trimming and skinning fish
• preparing sashimi

The narrow blade reduces drag, allowing each cut to be completed in a single smooth motion.

VG-10 Stainless Steel

At the heart of the blade is VG-10 stainless steel, hardened to approximately 61 HRC.

This premium Japanese steel delivers:

• razor-sharp cutting performance
• excellent edge retention
• outstanding corrosion resistance
• easy maintenance

VG-10 has become one of the most trusted steels in Japanese kitchen knives thanks to its ideal balance of performance and durability.

San-Mai Damascus Construction

The VG-10 core is protected by stainless Damascus cladding using traditional San-Mai construction.

This layered construction:

• reinforces the cutting core
• improves durability
• reduces brittleness
• enhances corrosion resistance
• creates the beautiful flowing Damascus pattern unique to each blade

Tsuchime Hammered Finish

The upper section of the blade features a traditional Tsuchime (hammered) finish.

This textured surface helps:

• reduce friction
• improve food release
• enhance cutting efficiency

while adding distinctive handcrafted character.

Rosewood Wa Handle

The traditional rosewood Wa handle, finished with a black pakkawood ferrule, offers:

• lightweight balance
• excellent blade control
• comfortable grip during long slicing sessions
• natural resistance to moisture

The forward balance of the Wa handle complements the long slicing blade perfectly.

Important Care Advice

Japanese slicing knives are designed for precision—not heavy-duty cutting.

Avoid cutting:

• bones
• frozen foods
• very hard ingredients

Hand washing and proper storage will help preserve the edge and finish for years of use.
