This 240mm sujihiki from Kanehide sits on the shorter end of the sujihiki range, a good fit for smaller kitchens or anyone with limited board space, though it is still a capable slicer in its own right. PS60 is the steel behind it, a Hitachi-developed alloy built originally for razors and closely related to AEB-L and 13C26.
Kanehide enhances both the hardness and wear resistance of this steel through special heat treating followed by a cryogenic treatment in liquid nitrogen at -180° Celsius. The blade is mono steel with no cladding, ground thin as a slicer should be, with an asymmetric 70/30 edge biased to the right side. The handle is mahogany with a nice stainless bolster, and the fit and finish on both belie the price.
What Customers Are Saying: The lone reviewer on this listing describes the knife as a scalpel right out of the box, light, well-balanced, and comfortable in hand, calling it a fantastic first run on a sushi bar and noting their head chef wants one too after seeing it in action.
Care Instructions: PS60 is a fully stainless, cryogenically treated steel, so hand wash and dry the blade after use rather than running it through a dishwasher. Avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and sharpen on quality water stones or strop regularly to keep the edge at its best.

This knife is a scalpel right out of the envelope! Super light, great balance, and a comfortable handle made for a fantastic first run on the sushi bar. The size is perfect for a busy user as it doesn't get in the way. My head chef has to have one now! Thank you CKTG for the speedy service and quality products as always!
