A sandwich knife is built to do one job very well: glide through bread and fillings in a single clean stroke without crushing or tearing. Misuzu, a small, family-run blacksmith shop in Miki, Japan, builds this 240mm version around VG10, one of the most popular stainless steels among Japanese knife makers for its strong edge retention and resistance to wear and corrosion.
The long, thin blade is well suited to slicing through layered sandwiches, baked goods, and similar foods where a shorter or thicker knife would compress the ingredients. VG10 holds an edge well and is straightforward to maintain, making this an easy knife to keep sharp and ready for daily use.
Care Instructions: VG10 is a low-maintenance stainless steel, so day-to-day care is simple. Hand wash and dry the blade rather than running it through a dishwasher, avoid cutting through bones or frozen foods, and use a quality water stone when it is time to sharpen.
