Kanehide is based in Seki City, the historic heart of Japanese knife making, and the brand is best known there for meat processing knives used to butcher, fillet, and prepare proteins of all kinds, many of them single bevel designs built for one specific task. This 270mm sujihiki is one of their more general purpose offerings, built for clean, single action slicing cuts that reduce damage to whatever is being cut.
The core is PS60, a Hitachi made steel closely related to AEB-L and 13C26 and widely used in the razor blade industry, which Kanehide hardens further through special heat treating and a cryogenic treatment with liquid nitrogen. The blade is thin at the spine as a slicer should be, ground with a right biased asymmetric 70/30 edge, and finished with a rosewood western handle and a stainless bolster for a refined look.
What Customers Are Saying:The one reviewer on this listing rated it four stars, noting the factory edge arrived around a 6 out of 10 and needed a touch up on a fine stone before use, but reported it then ran for a full eight hour shift on a sushi prep line without any issues, calling it a great buy for the price.
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 given the length of this blade, store it where it will not knock against other tools in a drawer.

Great knife. Excellent suggestion as usual , with blindingly fast delivery. LOVED IT. Took it out of the box, edge was 6/10, needed a finish on a fine stone, but worked well on a sushi prep line for 8 hrs straight after that with not issues. Worth the money
