Precision and control in every cut
The long, narrow 27 cm blade is specifically designed to provide you with complete control over the cutting process. The double bevel edge makes the knife suitable for both right- and left-handed users, allowing you to create even, clean cuts without crushing the ingredients. This helps you maintain the texture and juiciness of your ingredients, whether you're working with premium cuts of meat or delicate fish fillets.
Masterful craftsmanship from Takeshi Saji
This slicing knife is crafted by master craftsman Takeshi Saji, who was designated a Traditional Master Craftsman by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry in 1992. The knife is produced in Echizen (Takefu), an area with over 700 years of knife-making tradition. The unique black Damascus pattern is highlighted through a special treatment that gives the knife its distinctive dark appearance, while the stainless steel bolster creates the perfect transition between the blade and the handle.
Durability and maintenance
Desert Ironwood is known as one of the hardest and densest types of wood in the world, making the handle exceptionally durable while feeling warm and comfortable in hand. To maintain the knife's sharpness and appearance, it should be hand washed and thoroughly dried after use. Avoid dishwashers and hard materials such as bones or frozen foods. With proper care, this Sujihiki will be your faithful companion in the kitchen for many years.
